I always cut down on the sugar, so this seemed perfect with 1/2 cup less. Very light with a nice crunch to the top! I haven't made the icing yet -- hoping that'll add even more lemon flavor as it's very faint in the cake itself. This is a large recipe, which filled 3 mini loaf tins plus a small glass one. Because of the smaller sizes it took only about 45 minutes to bake.
