Do you have a savory or sweet tooth?
I admit I have a special love for all the breakfast cakes in general but this lemon loaf cake has a special taste: lemon. Lemon is one of my special ingredients. I think of it makes everything taste better.
Loaf cake: what I love of this simple preparation
Probably I love them because these are daily family recipes and often quite easy-to-make. Recipes you can cook every day because, I’m sure, always you have the ingredients in your own kitchen. Basically you need flour, eggs, butter, milk. Then you need one ingredient to confer a special taste. It can be any kind of leftover, fruit, cheese, and so on.
Cooking a good dish it isn’t only a question of long and complicated recipes or rare and precious ingredients. More often is a soul and heart question. I love cooking for people I love. Also when I make easy recipes and dishes, then family and friends think I’m awesome. Well, nothing it’s better to be the plum cake rockstar for my family
People! If you’re looking for a honestly good lemon loaf cake, I suggest to prepare this recipe for an easy, moist and fragrant cake. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, merenda.
Buona cucina, Monica
