Kitchen Notes
Top with a lemon glaze or our simple streusel, and bump up the lemon factor by including finely chopped lemon rind in either. You can dust your loaf pans with a sugar-lemon rind mixture.
Lightly sprinkle the streusel topping, especially towards the center of the loaf. A streusel fan, I was a bit heavy handed here and the center of the loaf was slower to rise.
From Stacie Gorkow: “This was delicious! I made 4 mini loaves rather than 2 large loaves. I took one to a friend who had just had surgery. Her daughter loved it and asked for the recipe. My kids also loved it!”
From Michelle Sears: “I made a double batch of AFB so I’d have enough to share. It made 4 small loaves, one large loaf and 6 muffins. The muffins did NOT turn out well. I put them in silicone muffin cups in a tart pan and they all spilled over. Oops. I also took them out too soon so they were gummy and not very good. At least the bread was a star!”

XO got it and fixed it, Debbi! Thank you as always!
I LOVE this recipe! It is beautiful baked in a bundt pan drizzled with glaze or sprinkled with powdered sugar. (Recipe fit nicely in a bundt pan and was done in an hour at 325). A slice covered with fresh peaches or berries, and a dollop of whipped cream? Divine. Thanks for a great recipe.
Sounds wonderful Bessy! If you have a photo, please share! Happy Baking.
