Triple Lemon Ripple Cake

Recipe #89781 | 1½ hours | 25 min prep | add private note

Every time I've made this cake, it's gone over extremely well. Lemon cake with a lemony cream cheese swirl and lemon glaze ... what's not to like? NOTE: Because this recipe is from a Minute Maid Frozen Lemon Juice booklet, it does call for just lemon juice, and I like the mild flavor. However, many like a stronger lemon flavor, and have added some grated lemon rind to the batter, with excellent results. You should, however, use either frozen or fresh; reconstituted doesn't work as well in this cake.

Most cakes I make get rave reviews from my family and friends, but this one was very bland and not as interesting or exciting as the recipe sounded or the previous reviews indicate. I used fresh lemon juice and also added two tsp of zest to the batter. Made this for Mother's Day, but I need to find another recipe and make another Lemon Cake to make Mom happy. It does have a good texture that we liked - slightly different than most cakes, but it just didn't make up for the lack of flavor. 2 Days later: The lemon came out more and the cake was better after it sat for 2 days, but I don't think I'll make it again.

    I made this delicious cake this weekend. Great cake and very lemony. I did add extra lemon zest to the glaze and batter. I served warmed up in the microwave. This brings out the flavor better. The cake came out of the bundt pan easily.

    I made this incredible moist and tender cake tonite. I added some lemon extract and lemon rind to both cake batters and also extra lemon juice to the glaze, for an added tartness. It turned out great. Thank you so much Montana Roux.
