"I found this recipe in a magazine a couple of years ago. I am the only one who likes this in my family (they won't try it because it has poppy seeds in it) but i make it anyway. I love it that much. I do share with my mom."

Exactly what I was looking for. Only problem was that loaf took much longer to bake than 55 minutes. After 1 hour the cake was still very liquidy in the middle. It took closer to 1-1/2 hours to cook. Husband commented that, unlike most "lemon" baked goods, it was really lemony. Definitely one to make again.

I love to read cookbooks and collect them. My son always says he refuses to feed my habit, but ends up buying me cookbooks just the same. He knows my joy in receiving one. I work at the local library and love my job.
