    lemon drizzle loaf

    Lemon drizzle loaf is a classic bake sale treat. With its tangy and delicious lemon flavour and it’s sweet yet zesty icing it’s a favourite for all the family.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a treat but this version has much lower sugar than your usual lemon drizzle without any compromise on flavour.

    Leaving off the icing is another way to further lower the sugar content but let's not take away all the fun. If you think your kids won’t love the taste of lemon give it a go anyway, they might well surprise you. Lemon in a cake is far removed from lemon as a fruit and from lemon in a savoury context.

    You can slice this loaf and freeze it in slices making it super convenient to keep in the freezer either iced or un-iced.

    Eating this loaf takes me straight back to my childhood, my grandma loved to bake and used to sneak lemon into everything.

    She never bought lemons though, there were always neighbours with overly abundant trees that they were desperate to off load. It certainly makes me wish I had the same now when their price skyrockets!

      I made it today for my parents with lemons from their garden, and it is epic. Thank you so much, wonderful recipe.
