In reply to Lou.

Hi Lou – I have only made this in a two piece tube pan myself. Don’t know why it leaked or sank for one commenter. I have never had that experience. Sounds like her batter may have been thin? (There are are many possibilities for error when making a recipe – a forgotten ingredient or step.) I’ve never had an issue myself with either of those problems with this recipe.

Can this work in cake pans? I would rather cook it in a tube pan, because I think it is prettier. But I am concerned it will leak and sink like one lady said.

I made this cake and it was so moist and lemony.
I also made homemade blueberry ice cream to serve with it and topped it with fresh blueberries.

DEFINITELY use a cake pan with a solid bottom (unlike my angel food cake pan). The cake batter leaked out the bottom and burned all over the bottom of my oven. Ruined the whole thing. I’m pretty grumpy about this. Will try again with my bundt pan.

In reply to Pat. Sorry Pat, that was a typo. I've just gone in and edited the recipe to say 350° consistently. I'm glad you kept it in the oven longer and the cake wasn't ruined.

In reply to Thanksgiving Fail. What a shame Anita, I am SO sorry to hear this and of your ruined cakes. One of my assistants recently went in to edit this recipe and the 300° is a typo. It should say 350°. I have edited it myself to say 350. Please accept my apologies.

The recipe shows a baking temperature of 300 degrees and 350 degrees. Which is it?
I actually baked it at 300 degrees and it took about 2 hours.

Unfortunately had this recipe fail 2x. Went back to review and found in upper part of instructions for how to make the best pound cake it says to preheat to 300 however recipe says 350. Didn’t see the 350 bc I had already done the 300

In reply to SG. Vanilla extract is NEVER a substitute for lemon juice or any other fruit juice - EVER.

In reply to flora. Sorry Flora, somehow I missed this comment. Vegetable shortening is like Crisco - basically hydrogenated vegetable oil, often used in baking as a substitute for butter or margarine.
