  The recipe makes TWO loaves. Each is sliced into 10.

  I did substitute Egg Beaters and Splenda sugar, but kept everything else the same and it turned out great. Thank You. - 3/25/14

  For 20 people... that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long while. I don't bake anymore because it makes me breakout in fat. That's why I'm a Sparker. If I made this, it would be gone in a day. YUMMY. - 3/23/15

  @DEBIGENE this recipe makes 2 loaf pans so it would be 10 slices per pan.
  
  This was delicious. - 5/1/14

  I hate it when a recipe says "1 stick butter"--what's a "stick"? Don't you know that not everyone seeing these things is from the States???

  I completely forgot the eggs but it worked out just fine. I put it in a bundt pan which also worked just fine.
  
  This cake was so good. I took it to work for a coworker's birthday and it disappeared so fast. This is definitely a keeper. - 3/30/14

  I HAVE MADE THIS AND YOU WILL NEVER GUESS THAT IT IS HEALTHIER THAN THE FULL FAT KIND. THIS IS DELICIOUS AND GOOD ENOUGH TO SERVE TO GUESTS FOR A LIGHT AFTER DINNER TREAT. - 3/23/15

  For those wondering about a stick of butter. Google is your friend. :)
  It looks like the skim milk might not have been added to the ingredients counting the calories. So the calories may need to be adjusted. - 4/16/14

  I'm going to make it for an Easter cake this year. I've had it before and used the tips suggested to save on fat and calories. Obviously, this is something for a very special occasion, it is delicious and one needs to keep the serving size as precise as possible! - 3/25/14

  I wonder if you could make it lighter with light margarine (though I hate using margarine) - 3/25/14

  I love Hungry Girl and re-did the whole thing with lemon lime diet soda and lemon line low carb yogurt with a lemon line yogurt and lime zest topping a lot lower in calories and carbs since we are on Spark. NO ONE knew the difference. I also used a Gluten Free cake mix.

  I just finished making this and it tastes really good but my loaves turned out very dense and didn't fill the pans. The taste is great but the texture wasn't what I was expecting, thought it's be lighter. It was also time-consuming to squeeze and zest 5 lemons! - 4/1/14
