Instead of a cake I made muffins, the lemon/water version and also a lemon/orange version and both came out perfect. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful recipe.

I am a Cake decorator and I have a few clients who are allergic to eggs and dairy. I am always looking for new recipes to be able to provide them with the best!... I tried this lemon recipe by making cupcakes and they just came out so good and moist! I did add a little more lemon juice then what the recipe says (1 1/2 Large Lemons = 1/3cup) and it worked very good for me! Not too sweet, just perfect! And to give it a better look, I added a few drops of lemon yellow food coloring!! I was just amazed with how delicious they came out!! BTW...this recipe makes 12 cupcakes if filled 3/4 full each for 23 min!! I will most definitely recommend this recipe to all my friends and family!! Thanks a whole bunch!!...Myrna from Myrna's Yummy Cakes!! Thank you so much for this recipe!! I am a Cake decorator and I have a few clients who are allergic to eggs and dairy.

My guess on the bitterness would be that you probably accidentally got part of the white pith from under the zest added to the cake instead of just the zest. Since the recipe calls for rind, perhaps you included some of the white part underneath. I think if you try just the zest, you will get a non-bitter cake. That's what I'm hoping when I make it. A friend recommended the recipe. to lc’s post on 2.6.11:

From all of these comments, this looks like it will be wonderful! I was curious on how much this makes? Since i wanted to make this into cupcakes instead of a whole cake. And would you have a recipe for a nice blueberry drizzle to put on top (that is also free of the things ive mentioned) ?
