I agree that this was a little dense for me too, but the taste is really lovely and tangy

Had a good flavor but quite a dense texture. Not sure I would make again

Great! I added double the lemon rind and juice and it was lovely and tangy! Could use less sugar if you want to cut back. I have an old oven, and the middle of the slice didn't rise and harder properly. On my second attempt I split the mixture into two LOAF TINS to ensure more even baking.
