You'll often find Kathy Scott baking this sunshiny-sweet bread in her Hemingford, Nebraska kitchen when company's due. It has a pound cake-like texture.

I made this with a juicy Meyer Lemon grown by a friend. It was delicious and everyone raved over it. Since the Meyer Lemons are not as strong, if you like the real lemony tast, add a bit of lemon extract to the batter. Will definitely make it again. Used parchment paper and it came right out of the pan.

I just took twoloaves out of the oven and both stuck to the pans so bad I lost half of each loaf because it broke off and stayed in the pan

From a family of picky eaters this went quick. Increased the lemon but otherwise followed recipe and turned out great

Absolutely delicious! I lined the bottom of my loaf pan with parchment and didn't have any trouble getting it out of the pan. I had to bake it longer than the recipe called for but the results were well worth the extra baking time.

After years of looking, I finally found the perfect Lemon Bread recipe. I love the versatility of this bread. I have added frozen blueberries or raspberries, and even poppy seeds with excellent results. This recipe is a definite keeper. One of my most requested quick breads.

WOW! I love this recipe and have made it every week since I saw it on Taste of Home. I shared it with the Executive Chef at a private country club in the hopes he could use it for a "cupcake of the week" dessert. The only problem I'm having is that the bottom sticks to the pan, so next time I'm going to trying adding a little flour after I grease it.
