This was great. I did not do any of the fat-reducing techniques and I used dried blueberries. It did get pretty dark, so I recommend a lower oven shelf or a sheet of aluminum foil over it for at least 1/2 the cooking time. Doubled it, it made it two really chubby loaves (using the long and thin European style loaf-pans) and glazed it with the juice of two lemons mixed with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup limoncello. I originally made it as a 'thank you' gift, but in the end decided it was too good to give away! LOL. I bought him a bottle of wine instead.

I made this for a family gathering. I used Greek yogurt, and lemon flavoring added about 1 tsp of orange rind. I used 4 eggs. I also put orange rind w/ powered sugar (1/2) bag and 2 ozs. Cream cheese into a nice frosting w/ almond milk. Killer! I used Pam on an Angel Food Cake Pan and sugared the bottom, sides and tube. Baked it for 70 min. Oven turned off left in for 15 extra min.
