I made this cake when I had an abundance of squash and wanted to try something different. It is delicious and no one knows there is squash in the cake.-Leigh Pomerleau, Holly Springs, North Carolina

This was the worst pound cake I've ever had. It was dry, dense, and the lemon flavor was artificial.

This cake was a bit of a let-down. It was dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was barely there.

I thought this cake was just okay. It was a little too dense for my liking and the lemon flavor was a bit too strong.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was really good. The lemon flavor was not overpowering and the cake was very moist.

This cake was good, but not great. It was a little too dense for my liking, and the lemon flavor was a bit too subtle.

This pound cake was a real crowd-pleaser! It had a lovely lemon flavor that was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the cake. The texture was also great - moist and fluffy, but not too dense. I'll definitely be making this again.
