I cant believe there is only 1 review so far. I have been making this for at least 4 years. No change at all, except I add the rind of 1 lemon. Exceptionally good!

This was such a tasty quick bread, and it was really quite moist. And the lemon glaze on top added a nice, sweet touch. I'm really glad I made this bread. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Pumpkin Pie's Mommy. Made for the new tag game, Name That Ingredient (in the Cooking Games forum).

Great recipe. The family loved it! Has anyone found a way to keep it from getting so dark on top? Aluminum foil in the last twenty mins perhaps...?
