  1. Followed your recipe right on down, & I'm another one who wouldn't change a thing! Normally I'm happy to increase the amount of lemon zest, but since the 2 lemons I used for this were large ones, that was good enough for me! Wonderfully flavorful cake that was gone rather quickly! Thanks for giving us the opportunity of keeping a copy of the recipe! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hits recipe tag]
     
  2. This was very simple to make with very good results. Mine did not get glazed as it was gone almost as soon as it was out of the oven. Thanks for the recipe
     
  3. What a great cake Pat, I made it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. My family & I thought that it was perfect; tall, moist, tender, had an excellent crumb and a lovely delicate citrus flavor. The sweet vanilla glaze was the perfect topping. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'll be making it again soon, for some reason it doesn't last very long.
     
  4. Very nice lemony cake. The reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that I find that the butter amount a bit too overwhelming.
     
  5. So delicious! The cake is wonderful all by itself -- so moist and delicately scented with the lemon zest. The only change I made was to add lemon juice to the powdered sugar glaze as we love more of the lemon flavor. This loaf cake will be gone in a flash. I plan to share some with a neighbor as he just brought me a bag full of oranges from his tree. I'll bet this loaf cake would be equally delicious using orange zest and I may just try that the next time around. Thanks Pat for a great recipe. Made for Make My Recipe Reunion tag, December, 2012.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
