These are delicious! The batter was quite thick, so I didn't know what to expect. But they turned out very light, spongy, and tasty! They have just the right amount of lemon flavor.

It was good, but I did add almost 12ozs of yogurt and alot of lemon juice to get it to taste like lemon, grated lemon peel was nice.

Not too sweet, pleasant lemony taste. Good any time of day.

These tea cakes were great! We loved the crunchy top. The only change I would make is to add more lemon because you can barely taste the lemon flavor.

I made this and it was very good. They were nice big tea cakes. Gave some to two of my neighbors and they loved them. I was thinking of making them again this week and I thought of making little holes on the top with a toothpick after they were done baking and mixing up some sugar and a little lemon juice and drizzle it over the top of the tea cakes.

I always use lemon flavored yogurt! Adds a bit more flavor.

I didn't have lemon extract and even though I added an extra Tbsp lemon juice and extra 2 tsps zest, they didn't have very much flavor. However, they are good moist muffins (I used whole milk yogurt) and they tasted better when I made a glaze with confectioner's sugar and lemon juice to put on top. I also think they would be great as blueberry muffins, they were just a little plain before I added the glaze since I didn't use the extract.

You can also just use lemon-flavored yogurt to add more lemony flavor if you omit the extract. I've done this and it works well. Add in a lot of zest!
