A lemon loaf that is just as easy to make as it is to eat. It doesn't require any fancy tools, just some measuring cups, a bowl, whisk (or spoon) and a loaf pan for baking.

It can be prepared in less than 10 minutes! And it bakes in 60 minutes.

The glaze on top is totally optional but included in the recipe ingredients and directions. If you want it to be a bit more sweet I would add the glazed icing, otherwise feel free to leave it out.

Enjoy!
