Lemon Loaf Cake
We do love all things lemon on this site. I have struggled with getting a lemon tree to produce for a few years now and it makes me sad EVERY winter when I buy really average lemons from supermarkets. I also hate seeing them laying on the ground in my neighbourhood and have been known to be a lemon picker upperer as I casually walk past. The struggle is real.
SO, when someone gifted me a basket full of beautiful Meyer lemons (those are the ones with the unbelievably soft skin, and the juice is quite sweet) I decided this was on the menu. Perfect for morning tea, pretty enough for afternoon tea or get the ice cream out and have it for dessert.
