Count me in as another one who saw AmandaInOz's photos in this Spring's Pick a Chef thread and just HAD to make it. Thankfully I already had all the ingredients on hand and, oh boy, is it good! I added about 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to the cake batter before baking and it added a nice lemon flavor throughout the cake. The glaze made from lemon juice and powdered sugar also added a wonderful flavor. The consistency of the cake is dense, similar to a pound cake. I will DEFINITELY make this again!!

I recently made this lemon loaf and it turned out very well. It was the first to disappear from the desert table at our little function. I was a little concerned after reading Pat Cowden's review but the cake turned out fine and that extra burst of flavour from the fresh lemon juice made it outstanding! Thanks!
