A loaf cake is just one of those things that is good to have around. It makes a great dessert, but it’s also wonderful with a coffee or a cup of tea. We used to eat a slice of something similar to this for breakfast when I was a kid and it was such a treat. Loaf cakes can be very versatile in terms of when and how to eat them and if you might have guests or unexpected pop-ins, it’s nice to have something like this on the counter to offer. It’s also not difficult to make so it’s a win-win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have a loaf tin, I highly recommend investing in one or two. They are a necessity for baking a lot of bread varieties, loaf cakes, many sweet bread recipes like banana bread and lots of quick breads too such as soda bread. The little liners that fit inside are also super handy to have as they make removing the cake effortless with no issues – for me this is a convenience I can get on board with. I say one or two<\/em> because many recipes will yield enough for two loaves, so if you’re buying one you might as well get a spare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As warmer weather approaches, this is the cake recipe I think I’ll be making quite a bit. Lemons taste good anytime, but they scream summer and this cake has a lightness to it. I can’t wait to cut a slice to enjoy in the garden with an iced coffee in the sunshine. Let’s bake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
