    Because the first layer is so thick it is usually PRESSED into the pan with your hands. No need for water. I love lemon and I will try it. Don't care too much for the regular gooey butter cake.

    Mine burnt at 1 hour and the top cracked! I thought originally I saw it was cooked at 300 but then I saw you said 350. I used a little bigger pan also which probably didn't help making it too dried out for me. It is not gooey but my husband likes it regardless so all is not lost.

    Ok, this is just an FYI for those who can't find a Lemon pound cake mix. I live in a really small town. We have 1 grocery store and 1 dollar General to buy groceries at. Neither one carries a pound cake mix. So I bought a 3.4 oz vox of instant lemon pudding and a white cake mix. For the first layer I put the box of pudding in the bowl first, then 2/3 of the cake mix. I remembered you said you thought thar pound cake has less cake like qualities than a regular cake mix. That's why I only used about 2/3rds of the cake mix. It turned out wonderfully and tasted lemony. If the only pound cake mix you can find is plain, add a box of lemon pudding. It works well to add lemon flavor. If you do this with a pound cake mix add the entire pound cake mix to the recipe. Next time I go to the city I will pick up a few boxes of lemon and plain pound cake mix. Lol Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

    I often make this cake, but where I live it is called chess squares. I have never made a lemon chess cake, but can’t wait to try it. My friend told me about one more simple step that makes them even better!!! Make the cake as the recipe directs, don’t add powered sugar to the top. Let it cool completely. Take a tea spoon or small cookie scoop & dip down into the cake getting the crispy bottom layer as well as the filling. Using your hands gently form it into a small ball, about the size of a walnut, then roll it in powered sugar. Your hands will get gooey , after all it is a gooey cake, but SOOO.worth it. These are a wonderful addition to your dessert table, they look very elegant and elevated, so easy to serve, place on toothpicks or just pick up & go!! No plates or forks needed. I made them for our sons rehearsal dinner, & my daughter-in-law just loved them.. she is a wonderful cook & has a recipe blog. This recipe made the cut!! I am so honored!!! They have a wonderful KY Derby Party each year & I help out by making these “Chess Balls”. I can’t wait to make the lemon variety!! Hope you try them!! You won’t be disappointed!! Let me know if you do & how you like them!!

    Dear Tammy,there is a difference in the temperature ,when you talk about it you say it is 350 degrees.In the recipe description it’s 300 degrees. I suspect it is 350 degrees! I just don’t want anyone to make a mistake. Thank you for your lovely 😊 recipe.

    Y'all talked me into it, but think I'll use ramekins or some of those little (3 or 4") aluminum pie plates. That way every piece will be surrounded by all that crispy, crunchy good stuff!
    You could get a little bit in every bite!
    LOL.
