  6. Mix in 3 eggs into the butter-sugar mix one by one using a mixer.

  8. Pour the batter into the baking form.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes.

Notes

The more zest you add, the more flavor the bread will have. And don’t forget to use only the most outer colorful part of the citrus skin.

This recipe works well with other citruses:

  • 4–5 limes;
  • 3 oranges, 1 lime, cinnamon.
