I have made this recipe twice, and the second time I made some changes. I do not use shortening, so I substituted butter---it gives a better flavor. I also added one teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter. I lined the pan with parchment paper, which made it easier to remove the bread.

My family and I really liked the tangy lemon glaze, and the bread itself was moist and tender.

It is considered to be a lemon bread because of the lemon icing.

This recipe is incredibly simple and I've made it at least 4 - 5 times. It's full of flavor too. It's a big hit at the office and it makes a very nice snack. Please note, I believe the original magazine recipe says to bake for 55 - 60 minutes, not 40 - 45.
