Since I started my blog I have developed an obsession with anything using fresh lemons and I love finding new recipes that I can try out and I really love it when they turn out as well as this loaf did! It looked pretty unassuming once done – even a little too dark on the edges – but once I tasted it I knew it was a winner! The topping takes it from good to superb so do not scrimp on this step! Once the loaf is cooked you pour a lemon & sugar mixture all over the loaf – this syrup absorbs into the top layer of the loaf and is such a lovely touch to the moist cake you will be delighted.
This being said I am the first to say these photos are a little uninspiring! Was rushed and the edges were a little dark – but this blog is called Just a Mum for a reason – I am usually doing 10 things at a time! Be assured it tastes amazing and I know yours will look better 🙂
We have the worlds tiniest lemon tree that while it gave us 3 lemons this year with our gardening skills is probably never going to do great things – my parents however have the most amazing lemon tree – it is always laden with fruit, well loved, fertilised and absolutely abundant! So I am always pleased when a bag of lemons comes my way – it gives me an excuse to make up a new recipe.
This is a recipe I have found a few places online – a basic recipe I have adapted from Taste.Com.Au which I think they have got from somewhere else etc etc you know how things work online! So it is with a grateful heart I replicate it here for your eating pleasure!
