Delicious! I love the crunchy touch of walnuts in this sweet bread. I wanted it good and lemony so I added a 1/2 tsp of lemon extract along with a few drops of yellow food coloring. I wasn't crazy about the grainy texture of the uncooked glaze so I microwaved it about 3 minutes and ended up with a fabulous tangy-sweet syrupy glaze that made the cake taste wonderful!

I've made this several times and it's delicious. I've made it exactly as the recipe calls w/ the exception of the nuts (never have been sure if the glaze is supposed to use granulated or confectioners sugar so I used confectioners) and I've also made it with extra lemon rind in the batter, and it turns out amazing either way! Great way to use up extra lemons.

A special treat for my family tonight! I made this recipe many times and it never fails me. This time I added a few currants to the mix for something a little different. Can’t get enough of this lovely lemon loaf.

this is a great recipe for a beginner...added 2 lemons worth of rinds and used the 2 lemons with sugar for the glaze.

Oh, my, goodness!! I LOVE this recipe. It turned out so moist and it wasn't crumbly like some home made breads can be. This recipe is a keeper! I added 1 extra tablespoon of butter (wanted to make sure it would be moist) and a tiny splash more milk. Turned out AMAZING! It's best the next day chilled. Try it, you will not regret it I promise.
