Growing up I didn't see a lot of lemon in desserts except at Easter or Mother's Day, so I guessed just Easter Bunnies and Mum's liked lemon. It did not matter to me because I was not particularly fond of it at all. In trying this recipe, for the life of me I cannot figure out why I disliked it so much because this is delicious! So much so I will even make a batch for my poppy seed loaf recipe.
