“Lemon bread” or “lemon loaf” is really a type of cake, don’t let the bread shape fool you! Its origins are impossible to determine. It’s a type of pound cake, which dates back to England in the 1700s, but when someone first added lemons and a sweet, tart glaze is unknown. In Britain, it’s called lemon drizzle cake and served with afternoon tea. In Germany, it’s called Saint Barbara’s cake and is made around December 4 (on the feast of St. Barbara). Whatever you call it, it’s the perfect breakfast treat or indulgent snack and I am all about it.
