Yep, our favorite too. Not too sweet and I sub with 1/2 whole wheat flour which gives a bit of a different texture. We like it with and without the glaze.

    This bread has a nice, moist texture & the glaze is very flavourful! I used a cake tester (approx 6" long) to poke the holes but still found that the glaze didn't reach all the way through the loaf. The glaze also made the top of the loaf a little sticky and soggy. I entered my first attempt at this recipe in the county fair and placed 3rd!

    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.

    Very good! I have a friend who buys starbucks lemon loaf for breakfast every day. I made this for him. I made only couple minor changes (because of comparing several lemon loaf recipes). I used buttermilk instead of milk. Also, added 1 teaspoon lemon extract & 1 teaspoon lemon juice. He said the flavor was right-on. However, said Starbucks was just a little lighter. And the icing was different. Next time, I think I will beat the egg whites separately & fold them in. We'll see if that works. On it's own, this is a very nice recipe that I will make again. Thanks for sharing!!
