Lemon is one of those flavours I cant help but love – especially as the sun starts to shine! Citrus bursts work almost as well as a coffee when it comes to waking me up from that mid afternoon slump. And it really doesnt get any better than this lushious lemon loaf cake. Juicy & moist – with a slightly stodgy comforting centre, and a sharp sweet finish. Its a winner as far as Im concerned!

The recipe works equally well for teeny cupcakes – you should get 12 perfect mini cake. A great option for a picnic treat! Lemon cake is my favourite for the moment. And I can testify to that by having eaten WAY to many in the past few days…. hours ( read: while writing this post )
