Nice flavor which we enjoyed. More on the order of a coffeecake than a rich dessert. Bakes up high (mine was done in 1 hr 10 min) and moist. Caution anyone who tries this to check their beaters-- mine seemed to trap a good deal of the lemon zest which I then had to re-add to the batter but glad I did because it does add a lovely subtle flavor. Thanks for posting !
