This is a tasty bread. I wish there was a bit more of the lemon flavor in the actual bread and not just through the glaze. I think next time I make it I'm going to add a bit of lemon peel to the actual batter. Personally it was a bit too much glaze too so I'm going to reduce it by a fourth next time. I plan on adding this to my Christmas day menu as it will be a refreshing and not overly sweet treat to share on the buffet. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
