Lemon Loaf

A really easy, all mixed in one bowl, recipe for Lemon Loaf. Delicious as an afternoon snack!

There’s nothing like a nice slice of homemade cake for an afternoon treat and this Lemon Loaf is the perfect recipe for just that!

So easy to make, all the ingredients are mixed in one bowl. It’s a great recipe to get the kids involved in baking too. So special equipment or gadgets needed.

How To Make Lemon Loaf

I used a silicone loaf tin in this recipe so there was no need to grease or line a tin. But if you are using a metal loaf tin then I would recommend lining it with parchment paper before adding the cake mixture.

1. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl.

2. Add the zest and juice of 2 lemons.

3. Mix the ingredients together well.

4. Pop into a loaf tin and bake for 35 minutes.

The glaze on top of the Lemon Loaf is optional but it does taste really nice. If you want to add it, hold back 2 teaspoon of the lemon juice and then mix that with some icing sugar.

Once the loaf is out of the oven and has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Then it’s ready to cut into 12 slices and enjoy!

Storing & Freezing

This Lemon Loaf will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

It can also be frozen in slices. Defrost at room temperature in a couple of hours.
