This is an excellent recipe. I have made it twice. I bake it using margaring and make it in 2 loaf pans-this way it is done in under 30 minutes...Also, after removing it from the oven I turn it upside down and pour the glaze on the bottom of the cake-it soaks it better...best eaten hot!

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.

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!!
