Lemon Drizzle Loaf

It is safe to say that London has been a little bit on the dull and wet side this week. And while I have all my fingers (and toes) crossed for a sunny weekend, this lemon drizzle loaf is the perfect sweet treat to brighten the weekend. As a lover of all things lemony, this classic take on the lemon drizzle tea-time favourite sure went down well with me and the rest of LK HQ, and I am quite sure you will all agree. I’ve topped this cake off with the traditional lemon drizzle, some added coconut yoghurt and berries for extra yumminess (and yes I am currently writing this while digging into another slice...).
