Ina Garten rocks. Ina's lemon cake rocks. I'm very picky about what goes into my recipe book but this one passed my test.

My tweaks:
I omit the glaze on the top. I found it to be too tart. I still add the lemon juice/sugar mixture after its finished baking. A cake soaked with sugar and lemon?..yes, please.
Who doesn't love a blueberry and lemon combo? I measured out a cup of blueberries, gave them a good rinse and dusted them with flour. I added the blueberries to only one loaf pan. I left the other loaf pan plain ole lemon.
Lemon Cake at High Altitude:
Living at 5,280 feet has some challenges. Add 1/4 c more flour (3 1/4 c) and decrease the baking soda by a tad. I scooped out 1/2 tsp and then sprinkled about an 1/8 to 1/4 back of it back in the box. How's that for science? I typically bake at a higher oven temp but these loaves turned out great at 350.
