“I have made this twice now. The first time I didn't have lemon zest so I substituted lemon extract and lemon juice. This gave the cake a little more lemon flavor then I wanted. I also used organic cherry pie filling that had the consistency of jellied cranberr” — a cook, 5.0★
“I followed the recipe as written, except I baked it in a ceramic rectangular pan that was smaller than a 9x13 pan. Like previous reviews, it took much longer to bake it...almost double the bake time. The taste was good, but I plan to use another recipe I have ” — a cook, 4.0★
