How often do you open the cupboards and have everything you need to make a yummy dessert? For me, hardly ever! I don't make much here in Minneapolis as of now, because the kitchen is kind of nasty. Saturday was sunny with just the right amount of chill so that I was craving a delicious dessert. I opened the refrigerator and there were lemons! Perfect. I instantly thought of the tangy lemon loaf they sell at Starbucks. It's surprisingly a perfect pairing with coffee. I used this recipe and it turned out great. All the ingredients are probably found around your house. It makes two loaves, so you can share! Or not.
For the frosting, I used the basics of this recipe, but modified it a little bit by adding a splash of milk. It sounds insane! But trust me. Without milk, it will be ultra tart, if you like that. I like the frosting to be both creamy and lip puckering.
Be warned... if you grate lemons with a standard grater, use a tooth brush to clean it.
I also added some sugar sprinkles to make to pretty. The loaf was so moist, the frosting so creamy that the sprinkles added a very slight crunch that made it so much fun to eat!
Eating this makes me feel like this. Enjoy!
Mmm, this recipe sounds delicious! I've been wanting to do something with lemons recently, I think I'll try this out!
