    O.K.
    This was ok. Next time I would double or even tripe the lemon and lemon peel as it wasn't lemony enough. I might even stir in 1/2 cup greek yogurt to make it a little richer tasting. - 3/9/14

    Good
    It's a nice cakey bread. A little chewier than I would have liked and not as much lemon flavor (I even added a little extra) but all in all a refreshing , low fat treat! - 1/12/12

    Good
    I made this last night (without nuts, because of allergies) and the flavor is good, but it turned out a little too dense and chewy for my preference. (It's possible I stirred the batter too much.) I made a second loaf and added some fresh raspberries, which was a really delightful addition. - 6/15/10

    This is very good- light and flavorful. Tastes like a cross between angel food cake and lemon poppyseed cake. - 2/6/10
