We eat 100% from scratch and 100% organic in our home. This recipe is a decadent delight because it's not made from a box mix. It's made with whole, natural, and delicious ingredients that come together for a fantastic zing to your tastebuds. It's wonderful as a dessert and divine with coffee. My friends and family love this recipe.
This lemon loaf is better than anything you'd find at a coffee shop. There's a nice balance of sweetness and tartness in this treat. The from-scratch cake is moist, very lemony, and not overly sweet. With not a lot of baking powder, it does not have the same rounded top as other quick breads. The simple lemon icing adds additional lemon flavor but also a touch more sweetness. A slice will be wonderful with coffee or hot tea
