Note just above recipe states that the texture of this bread is much like
a sponge cake. Serve it thinly sliced with fresh berries and whipped cream
OR, for tea, toast and then layer with ricotta and sprinkle with golden
raisins. You can vary the recipe by substituting orange OR lime for the
lemon.
1. Process according to manufacturer’s instructions for basic bread.
2. Turn out immediately onto a rack to cool. Wrap in plastic to store.
