Light, fluffy and moist lemon loaf cake! Every bite is bursting with fresh lemon flavors and is perfectly topped with a 2-ingredient lemon glaze. Honestly, this is BETTER than the Starbucks loaf!
I have some recipe testing days that don’t go too well, but there’s also days I nail a recipe and CAN’T WAIT to share. This was one of those recipes! This loaf pairs well with a cup of coffee in the mornings or even when you want a sweet snack that will wake up those tastebuds 🙂
I’ve made some other lemon cakes like my Raspberry Lemon Poppyseed Cake, Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Loaf and Lemon Poppyseed Loaf! What can I say? I’m a lover of lemon baked goods all year round!
I wanted to bake a simple lemon loaf without all the other additions and I’m so happy this one turned out so amazing! Trust me, this one is a good one!
