There is something about this time of year, that has me baking and cooking with lemons. It just seems that lemons mean spring, sunny days and happy baking. This is a recipe that I've made many times - it's a beautiful, tender loaf with really good lemon flavor. It does have a couple of steps, but so worth it!
