I made this last night and my husband really liked it. I liked it too- but It wasn't what I thought it was. I like it better completely cooled down. The lemon seems more complimentry to the cake when it is cool. I also made it in 9x9 pan and it came out nicely- with reasonably thick cake squares, I don't think I will ever make a single recipe in a 13x9x2 pan, as suggested- it would be too thin. Will make again, thanks!

I can't say how delighted I am to have found this recipe! Once I started munching I couldn't quit & they couldn't be easier to make (maybe not such a good deal:o) I cut the recipe in half, baking it in a round cake pan & it turned out wonderful. A yummy light cake w/ a little zing of lemon. (Just a note: the vanilla is not in order with when to include it) Thanks for posting!

I followed the recipe exactly except for the topping, where I used 1/3 cup lemon juice concentrate (made from real lemons though), lemon zest and 1/3 cup sugar. It turned out just lemony enough for me, but too lemony for my sister, so I guess it's up to taste. Extremely easy, and tastes ace with hot tea.

Extremely easy to make and very very good. Be sure to eat a piece right out of the oven, warm, sweet, lemony!

This is too easy to make and too easy to love!! The cake came out moist and light tasting with a great lemony taste. The only thing I added was some lemon zest in the cake. Thanks MaeEast!

Lovely. This is especially nice made with fresh Meyer lemons. I used real butter, and halved the sugar. Also, rather than the vanilla, I scraped the seeds from a one inch length of vanilla bean and added the zest of my lemon to the batter. In my first attempt, I tried reducing the sugar by half in the topping and it ended up tasting like lemonade concentrate on top of the cake. The next time I used equal parts (scant 1/3 c) Meyer lemon juice and sugar. Meyer lemons, a cross of lemons and mandarin oranges, are not as tart as regular lemons. This was a nice combination. Neither too sweet, nor too sour.

Very good but very rich. I loved that I could make this with just what I had on hand and that it mixed up so quickly. I made it in a round 9-inch pan and it looked very pretty under a cake dome.

Oh my gosh-just what I needed....i was at home watching my favorite shopping channel qvc, they were selling a yummy looking lemon bundt cake...lol it was selling for $22.95 + $11.22 shipping. Then all of a sudden I had a craving for a lemon cake. I searched zarr, and looked and tons of lemon cake recipes and almost all of them used a cake mix. I needed something that I could make with the stuff in my pantry, then I saw your recipe, I mixed all the ingredients using my food processor and added 1 tsp of lemon extract along with the vanilla and it turned of yummy..i am having my second peice now..lol thanks for sharing and this quick-easy recipe hit my lemon dessert craving! A++++ and helped save my budget because I did not need to order the cake off qvc...smile

Thanks for submiting this wonderful recipe. It's a new family favorite!
