Notes
Only grate the yellow part of the lemon skin. Avoid zesting the bitter white pith underneath, as it can make your loaf bitter
Adjust the milk as needed in the icing to get a thicker consistency that will stick to the top of the loaf.
Mix the batter just until combined. Over mixing can result in a tough loaf.
