  1. Greetings! This cake is delicious. I sifted the flour first, for those who are unsure. Added a touch of lemon zest. Btw, I love the Genius Kitchen recipes. You're my "go-to" source ... thanks!

  2. This cake was everything the name says it is. Huge hit at my husband's birthday party. I served mine with a fresh strawberry glaze & then filled the center of the cake with fresh berries which the cake absorbed beautifully.

  3. Wonderful! I am a baker---and this cake is wonderful! Beautiful crust, wonderful texture, and good flavor.
     
  4. This is fantastic! I used lemon extract instead of vanilla and could not be happier with it. Thank you so much for posting:)
     
  5. This cake is wonderful, the sugar could be cut down some but the overall taste and texture are the best of any pound cake recipe I have tasted. It reminds me of a Sara Lee pound cake. Also, this recipe is perfect for an Easter Lamb cake, not dry at all. This will easily make 2 cakes. Enjoy!

  1. 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp almond also works well!
