I often bake this sunshiny-sweet bread when company's due. It has a pound cake-like texture. —Kathy Scott, Lingle, Wyoming

I just made it and something was wrong, the loaves did not rise at all. Flavor good, what did it happen? I used fresh baking power. The butter and sugar mix was too dry, never get fluffy. Will try again

This was wonderful. Decreased the egg to one. Added another tablespoon of lemon juice. Left out the lemon rind. Decreased the sugar to 3/4 c. Poked holes in top and let topping run in bread. Yummy!

This Lemon Bread was very simple to make and came out beautifully golden, with a nice fresh citrus taste! I actually poked holes through the loaf with a long skewer and poured the glaze overtop so that it seeped into the loaf itself, instead of just sitting on the top. Delicious recipe!

Just made this keeper recipe...tasty and rapidly disappearing. I'm going to double the lemon peel the next time I make it and will definitely give the blueberry idea a go.

I made this for an office breakfast and, of course, had to make one for the family. Everyone loved it! Next time I make it, I'm going to add strawberries and whipped topping for a dessert. It's a keeper!
