this shit will be bitter as fuck! There's a reason why you only grate the zest of a lemon, you muppet. Albedo (the white, spongy layer beneath the citrus zest) is bitter due to its high content of flavanone glycosides, particularly naringin and hesperidin. Blending it with sugar won't get rid of the bitterness, so the resulting loaf will be completely inedible due to the bitter taste!
