Well this was a big hit for my son's 35th birthday party. We served it with two kinds of ice cream but it would be wonderful with a glaze of powdered sugar and lemon juice.
The advice about not over beating the egg whites was spot on. My husband does not like lemon anything but even he found this cake delicious. Has anybody else made this?
I have not, only because at my house, a cake could conceivably last 3 weeks - there just aren't enough of us to eat it! Now that you mention the texture as being more pound-cakey, though, maybe I will! I do have a neighbor who I like who baby sits her granddaughter - I could maybe bring them half of it next time I take my dog over there for visiting hours. It's not as weird as it sounds - we became friends over our dogs. They both passed on near the same time last year, so we had that in common, and now that I have the newest fur ball, he goes over there so she can get her "dog fix". She doesn't want the responsibility of a dog now that she is living alone, so she's his "Grammy". And she (and her granddaughter) spoil the beast rotten - they make ME look neglectful!
I made this last week. It is definitely a keeper.
The flavor is well balanced, and very lemony. Although I made have added a bit more zest than called for.
I don't think it is the texture of a pound cake. Just did not have the same crumb. However, it did have a wonderful crust reminiscent of a good pound cake.
Glad you liked it ponychick. I made it again just yesterday. I'm thinking I would like to make it in loaf pans instead of the bundt pan. I think I would like to divide the batter between 2 loaf pans but I'm not sure how long to cook it like this. Any suggestions?

I was thinking this would make a nice gift for neighbors, and if you made it in a couple of loaf pans, that would work really well.
I would keep the temperature the same, just check it a lot earlier, maybe 30 minutes.
