Looking for a dessert that's a little sweet and lemony to take to your holiday get together or enjoy at home with family? My friend Sarah from That Lemonade Life blog has a delicious lemon bread recipe that she's graciously allowed us to share on our blog. It's simple to make and we are all about simple desserts.
Sarah says that this recipe reminds her of lemon bread she made growing up and gives her cozy memories. Comfort food.
“Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, very close up there or maybe even equal to chocolate! And lemon bread in particular is delicious in my opinion.
It’s more a cross between bread and a cake, kind of like a lighter pound cake and kind of not. It’s its own unique thing! There is nothing quite like a good loaf of lemon bread.”
You don’t need many ingredients for this lemon bread recipe: butter. sugar, eggs, lemons, flour, baking powder, salt, and milk.
“I use almond milk because that is what we keep on hand and I have found the best texture with. But you can use a dairy or other non-dairy milk. Just be aware that heavier milks may create a denser texture in the bread!
You’ll also need a loaf pan- I like an 8×4 one. Darker pans, such as mine, can create a darker outside to the bread.”
“This lemon bread recipe is perfect for grabbing a slice, and snuggling up with a cup of tea or iced tea, and a good book!
It’s also a great loaf to share with friends or give as a gift. You could call it an all occasion bread!
So, what recipe feels like home to you?”
