I love lemons and even more so in cakes and baked goods. I saw this wonderful "copycat' recipe over at Averie Cooks and went ahead and made a loaf, and we devoured it! I didn't even have time to add my own lemon cream cheese drizzle to it! Everyone was drooling and waiting for a slice so, I just quickly sprinkled powdered sugar over the top - equally good (and fast- LOL) I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did. Averie hit this one 'outta the park!"
