In reply to Lori. Hi Lori! There's no lemon juice here, because it doesn't really add much flavor. Your flavor will come from the zest. The lemon extract just adds an extra punch to the lemon flavor. :)

Where does the lemon flavor come from if I don’t use lemon extract? is the lemon zest enough for a lemon flavor? there isn’t lemon juice in the cake recipe.
thank you

This cake is sooooo yummy! It is moist and so pretty…my hubby grabbed a slice and ran into the garage to work and ran back inside a minute later and gave me a kiss and said…this cake is soooo delicious! I WILL be making this on repeat for the summer….

In reply to Lynne l. Hi Lynne! I think it could work. You will want to make sure to not overfill your pan and it may take longer to bake. I haven't personally done it so I can't say for sure how long to bake it. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. :)

I made this with 1:1 gluten free flour and it turned out great. Maybe slightly more dense than normal, but my kids demolished both loaves in just a few days! King Arthur GF 1:1 or Bob’s Red Mill (the blue bag) have both worked great for me with no other changes.

In reply to Stacey Huetten. Hi Stacey! A simple syrup isn't really needed for this cake, but you could always add one if you want. :)

What about a simple syrup ? My orange pound cakes used a simple syrup I’m wondering if that would be good here too

Excellent recipe; moist and delicious. I had lemon paste that I used in place of the lemon extract and it gave a nice depth to the lemon flavor. My daughter thinks this is the cake she’ll request for her birthday from now on.
