Glazed Lemon Tube Cake
This easy lemon cake recipe is just the dessert to brighten up a gray winter day (or any day). Lemon zest provides a nice zing in every bite. A light glaze gives the tall, golden cake a delicate crust. —John Thompson, Vandalia, Illinois

This was delicious. Next time I'll add a little more lemon flavoring.
I love just the right lemonyness of this cake. The batter is thick but bakes beautifully and the glaze adds the extra lemonyness it deserves. THIS is a keeper!!!!!
I've been making this since it first showed up in a magazine years ago. This is a favorite treat if you have to serve dessert after a heavy meal. Of course, it is a favorite in the spring and summer months, too. So good!
I would give this a 5 star because the cake is really good, but the glaze is not. I will make this again but use a glaze using 10x sugar. But thanks for sharing loved the cake.
Really good moist cake with a crunchy top. I was concerned about putting granulated sugar in the glaze instead of confectioner sugar, but it was perfect with just the right amount of lemon
We had guests coming so when I saw this recipe I said that is what I will make. I skipped the glaze because we served it with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was a major hit with everyone even with a husband who doesn't usually like cake. I used King Arthur whole wheat flour which probably made it a little denser than regular flour but it was still light and tasty. To make the lemon flavor more intense I added 10 drops of lemon essential oil. Kudos to the developer of this recipe, it's a keeper
I followed the recipe exactly but it was just ok. Nice soft texture but lacking in a distinct flavor. Probably won’t make it again
I used whole milk, and grated a orange besides the lemon. For the glaze, I used powdered sugar and whole milk, and grated a orange and lemon. I put a little lemon extract in the glaze as well. Much better....this was awesome!
Pretty good, it was a hit at church
Cake came out moist and fluffy with a nice crust on the top. The lemon glaze is a nice addition to the cake.
