A great tasting Lemon Loaf! I liked Charabears idea of mini loaves for the holidays and bake sales. Easy to make and bakes up beautifully. Perfect for coffee time and teas. Thank you for sharing this delicious Lemon Bread - a keeper for sure.

Made for Fall 09 Pac Premie Adoption. Followed recipe, except added 1/2 tsp lemon zest to mix, and 1/4 tsp to glaze, because we like a really lemony taste, and rather than one loaf made into 5 mini loaves. This is fast and easy, and perfect if you make into mini-loaves for gift baskets. Thank You for a really great keeper, I will be making this up again for Christmas Baskets and our schools Holiday Bake Sale. Hopefully by then I will have batteries for my camara so I can show what a really great bread these make up into.
