Cake tasted good, moist. Did not look good because it stuck to pan. Thank goodness it was just an every night dessert for family, they were fine tried to make me feel better. Even though it's everyday you still want it to be pretty. Next time I will grease & flour the pan.

This was an excellent summer dessert. Everyone at our picnic loved it and wanted the recipe. I altered it a bit using Country Time lemonade mix rather than Kool-Aid and strawberries instead of blueberries. What a refreshing summer treat - try it!

I should have known better than to follow a recipe that called for Kool-Aid for crying out loud! This cake was the worst! It didn't rise and the flavor was so bad I had to throw it out. I've made lemon cakes before and this one is more like sour grapes! Blech!!!!

I made this without the blueberries and it was still a hit-very moist and not too tart.

This has an excellent lemon flavor from the kool-aid mix. Very moist, nice presentation and tastes great with blueberries. I highly recommend and will definitely make this recipe again!
