Bright, buttery and full of fresh citrus flavour, it's the sort of bake you'll find yourself returning to whenever you need an easy homemade treat that never disappoints.
There is something irresistible about the smell of a lemon cake loaf baking in the oven.
It fills the kitchen with the fresh scent of citrus and butter, and by the time the loaf has cooled just enough to slice, the kettle is usually on too.
Whether you're baking for guests or simply want something homemade to enjoy through the week, this recipe delivers a tender crumb and plenty of bright lemon flavour without being complicated.
The secret is not an expensive ingredient or a clever baking trick.
