Baked in a bundt & added 1/3 cup cake flour because of high altitude. Got rave reviews at church supper.

My Mom made this recipe many, many times. I follow her tradition of dying coconut green with food coloring to put around the bottom on the plate to look like grass ant scatter jelly beans. It makes a wonderful yt simple Easter desert..

This is a wonderful pound cake, light and lemony. But if you really want to wow them, make the Duncan Hines Lemon-Pear Upside-down Cake. Guaranteed to knock their socks off.

Just tried using meringue for an icing. What a hit that was!

My mother always made this cake. She also would poke holes into the top and then drizzle a glaze of fresh lemon juice and confectioner's sugar over it. Let it soak into the cake, the do it again after about a half hour, let it sit another half hour and dust with confectiner's sugar. It is tangy, super moist and refreshing! My mother never bought any other brand of prepared cake mixes, and neither do I! Please keep on producing these great products!

That's exactly how I do it, and it's my husband's favorite cake. I make it for his birthday every year.

That's how I make my lemon cake I also use lemon jello , poke holes and let it set for 5 mins., pour more jello over the cake and glaze with lemon juice and powder sugar. You'll get a real lemon kick

This recipe is for the 18.25 ounce cake mix. Per the Cake Mix Doctor, when using a 16.5 ounce cake mix add 1.75 ounces (or 6 tablespoons) of flour to the cake mix to compensate for the smaller packaging.

This is excellent. It was super easy and tastes wonderful. I love the idea of adding lemon juice too. My grandson wanted to try substituting the water with Mountain Dew.

I've made this cake before and it is very good. I enjoy baking using prepared cake mixes, especially when you need something last minute.
