Easter Lemon Bread
This was my grandmother's recipe. Don't know why they call it bread; it's a lemon pound cake. Every time I make it, I am always asked for the recipe.

I gave this 4 stars because I wanted a more lemony flavour. It is a great cake mix. I made it a second time and took out 6Tbs of the 1c of milk and added lemon juice in its place. I also used 1c of whole wheat flour & 2c all purpose and reduced the sugar to just under 2 cups. It was super moist and really lemony, just the way I like it.
Read MoreI was excited to make this recipe because my family loves all things lemon. But I was disappointed in the lack of lemon flavor in the bread itself. The glaze that is poured on is delicious but I really wish the inside of the bread had more flavor. I may try again but add lemon juice to the bread recipe.

Delicious! I cut the recipe in half and it baked up beautifully. The glaze at the end was not soaking in so I carefully poked the sides of the loaf with a fork and swirled the juice around. I had a surplus of lemons and not a lot of butter so this recipe was a good match. Will definitely make again but with a bit less sugar. Bonus: my husband also found this cake delicious.
I just made this recipe exactly as it says and I have to say it's OUTRAGEOUS!!! Everyone in my family tried it and said the same! Thank you for sharing!!
This bread was delicious! I liked the glaze because it helped when taking the bread out of the pan too. I didn't like the idea of nuts in Lemon bread so I put in 2 TB of poppy seeds. Yummy!

Wonderful recipe. I followed as directed and finished with two beautiful loaves of lemon bread. I would suggest that you grease the pans well as the sugar glaze is sticky and drips down the edge making them tough to remove. Excellent flavourful dessert!
I don't know if it was a mistake or not, like if it was uncooked in the middle, but it tasted like I'd put lemon curd in the middle (which I didn't) and it made it extra delicious!
This recipe is very forgiving. I accidentally put the lemon juice in the batter and it still turned out just fine. I had two very large lemons and that equaled 12 tablespoons of juice. I doubled the recipe. And cut it into lasagna pans. Left out the nuts because some folks have not allergies where I'm taking the cake, and put poppyseeds instead.
I didn’t have enough lemon zest so I added 1/4 tsp of lemon extract to the batter.
EXCELLENT! Hubby brought home some Meyer lemons and I sure wasn't going to let them go to waste. Used three lemons in this recipe and the loafs turned out great. We are both lemon lovers...Thank for the KEEPER!
This recipe was AWESOME. I do recommend if you like it very lemony to put lemon juice into the mixture other that that it was amazing.
I think 60 minutes was too long to cook it because it came out dry. Next time I will cook it in about 50 minutes. Otherwise, good.
Easy and wonderfully sweet recipe. The sugar/lemon juice poured over the top created a nice sweet crust. I made the recipe as is, no tweaks, and would make again! It was the perfect texture, and not too sweet or tangy.
I took this to an allrecipes get together and served it with Tequila Lime Strawberries and it was a huge hit. Rave reviews from everyone I did make any changes to the recipe and baked it for 60 minutes. This is going in my keeper file! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
It was a very easy recipe that I could make with my 5 year old. I followed the recipes except i didn’t have a lemon to zest so I added 2T of lemon juice into the bread. It is very tasty.
I made this recipe as shown except I added an extra tablespoon of lemon juice and a little extra lemon zest. After reading some of these reviews I was afraid it wouldn't have enough lemon flavor, but it had wonderful lemon flavor and it was great! Maybe the extra zest did the trick. Only thing I would do differently next time is maybe a little less time in the oven, it was slightly drier than i wanted.
I loved the flavor,but I had trouble because I overfilled the disposable pans- my error but wished the author would have specified loaf pan sizes. After greasing the pan I put some lemon crystals into the flour in the pan - it added a great tang.
