Triple Lemon Ripple Cake image

Every time I've made this cake, it's gone over extremely well. Lemon cake with a lemony cream cheese swirl and lemon glaze ... what's not to like? NOTE: Because this recipe is from a Minute Maid Frozen Lemon Juice booklet, it does call for just lemon juice, and I like the mild flavor. However, many like a stronger lemon flavor, and have added some grated lemon rind to the batter, with excellent results. You should, however, use either frozen or fresh; reconstituted doesn't work as well in this cake.
