Alright, this post is going to be short and sweet – not unlike this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie/Baking with Julia pick, Lemon Loaf Cake contributed by Norman Love. By that I mean that this cake couldn’t be easier to put together, and the result is a nice little lemony pound cake with a dense crumb that takes well to toasting, piling up with strawberries or peaches, or just eating as is.
No need to dirty up your mixer, this cake is made the old fashioned way with a whisk and a sifter. It only uses lemon zest, so if you’re after an extra shot of lemon flavor I would add in a little juice too. And it just begs for a little lemon glaze.
Please visit the blogs of our lovely hostesses, Truc of Treats and Michelle of The Beauty of Life for the recipe.

Looks wonderful!
looks like it turned out well! I agree that it could have been a little bit more lemony. 🙂
Looks great. Lemon juice and lemon glaze gave it a nice lemon flavor.
Your cake looks like it has a perfect crumb! Love the plate, too.
Such a beautiful looking cake…absolutely perfect!
I love my mixer, but it is really nice to make an easy recipe sometimes! Your cake looks lovely.
Lovely pictures.
It was nice to have a recipe that didn’t involved so much technology 🙂
Nice pictures… your loaf looks so creamy!
Next time I’ll be sure to do a glaze. Yours looks great!
Looks great. I used the juice of one lemon and I thought the lemon taste was pretty strong.
Beautiful texture. I like mine to have a stronger lemon flavor.
This is a very rich and dense lemony creation. Lemon cake, lemon frosting, and lemon curd. All in one. If you like lemon, this one is for you. It took awhile to create just what I had in my head, but the results and all the sampling was worth it.
