This is an easy to make and delicious recipe. Loved the fact that it makes two loaves, one to eat right away and another to freeze. I plan on making this often!

This was really good! I was skeptical as I usually make mine from scratch. But it was so easy to make and super moist. Nice and lemony too!

Moist and delicious! I've made it several times and it's always quick to disappear.

I have made this recipe for approximately 30 years. It is fabulous. I find that it takes almost an hour to cook and I take it out of the pan to cool and glaze it. I line my pans with cut tin foil to make the removal of the loaf easier. Honestly, my family loves it and I will always make it!

Everyone loves this recipe! Have made it many times. It's my go-to recipe for gatherings of all kinds. For Christmas this year I used French vanilla cake mix and substituted orange zest, Jello mix and juice for the lemon. It was incredible! Not as tangy as the lemon, but a really nice variation. It was a big hit!

An excellent very easy delicious cake I used a bundt pan instead , my husband loved this cake. He thought I labored all day making this dessert and the one pan baked chicken . I freeze half of the cake, if I did not do that the cake will be gone in no time.

Very tasty BUT the suggested 8x4 loaf pan is not big enough!!! Glad I had a sheet pan under the loaf pans because they spilled all over making a huge mess. I will make this again but I recommend using 3 pans or 2 much larger pans.
