"Found at verybestbakingdotcom & here's what they had to say about their recipe: "This lemony fresh & delicious quick bread was inspired by 1 of our own Very Best Bakers (Brenda Washburn of Enid, Okla). It's perfect anytime of the dy & the lemon syrup can be made while the bread is baking." I think this quick bread could be made in a variety of ways & served with or w/o the lemon syrup, which I have shown as optional in the final Prep Step. ENJOY!"

Delicious! Had a texture closer to lemon pound cake. We had it for dessert. Would be good with any citrus, I think, especially lime, which I will try next time.
