I made this for A Taste of Yellow for Livestrong Day. In Memory of my Dad who passed away from cancer 5 years ago. I think we have found a new favorite lemon loaf! My whole family loved it and they want me to make it again! I think my favorite part was where the glaze seeped down into the cake! MMMM Tasty!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Derf.

    Your favorite lemon loaf is now our favorite as well! This loaf has a heavenly flavor and texture. Very lemony and buttery (used butter rather than shortening), and quick and easy to put together with pantry staples. Everybody loved it for breakfast, DH and I also thoroughly enjoyed it with our afternoon tea. Thanks for the delicious recipe.

    This was a very nice lemon loaf. It did seem to me to be more of a tea cake than a quick bread. The glaze imparts an intense lemon flavor which I enjoyed. It did not rise as much as I expected it to, but it remained a nice treat.
