Marra's Low Fat Sugar Lemon Loaf image

Inspired by Boomette's Recipe #268632 I developed this for my diet using it as a guide. Moist, and delicious without sacrificing flavor it is almost guilt free. I like to add a touch of almond extract, not enough to make a big taste difference but give it a little warm lift
