    I've been cooking and baking for eons and usually can figure out the directions but the directions for this cake are VERY confusing. Do you REALLY put the extracts and zest into the flour? All the directions are to say the least, confusing. Maybe fixing the punctuation may clear it up. I hope so! - 10/22/10

    Okay... I made this cake for my husband's birthday. I used my own simple icing sugar and lemon juice icing instead of the one called for in the recipe and everyone in my family, including a 5 yr old and an 8 yr old, had at least seconds. BTW, bake at 325 for a bit less time. :) - 8/31/10

    Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.
