"The cake is in the oven right now! The syrup is made. I am hoping this is a winner because I could really use a good new Passover cake. It is really spectacular. Like a lemon dream."

"I followed this recipe to the letter, and this cake tastes great! The cakes baked up well however not very tall and cutting them into thinner layers, something I have done with other recipes, would have been a difficult task. I would more likely make one and a half or double this recipe and bake 3 or 4 cakes instead of trying to cut them.

The frosting recipe didn't call for sifting the powder sugar, so I didn't, and the frosting texture was happily perfectly smooth. My only significant concern is that I like nice thick coating of frosting and I barely had enough to cover the whole thing. If I made this again, especially with more than two layers I would consider doubling or at least making one and a half more than the recipe calls for. On the whole I found this cake to be one of my more successful experiences with scratch cake recipes and my husband loved it."

"Excellent! Even my kids ate it! I made a few alterations. I sauteed chicken thighs and used the fat from that instead of pork. The fish I had was Cod. I boiled some fish parts in homemade chicken broth to give the broth a more authentic chowder flavor. After the potatoes were cooked I used the immersion blender and did a quick blend, still leaving lots of satisfying potato lumps. I also dialed down the cream to 3/4 cup. It was so good we are looking forward to eating the leftovers!
