Stunning post! The picture of the sugared lemons is absolutely perfect and the bread looks mouth-watering indeed. It reminds me of the lemon poppyseed cake/bread I make last week. I love seeing baking pictures!
Consider my mouth watered! I can just imagine the wonderful aromas in your kitchen.
Sounds wonderful - lemon cake is my favorite. Never had a lemon bread - is this like a pound cake?
Sandy! My husband is a Fruity Kind of Guy - he loves fruit snacks, cakes and pies. He will absolutely love this. I like fruit pastries, too, but he is definitely a candidate for this lemon treat. Thank you! Our 32nd anniversary is coming up. I’ll surprise him.
Even at 5:15 AM, it made my mouth water!
I am copying the recipe now.
Thanks!
The sugared lemons look so delicious as does the lemon bread. Thanks for sharing the recipe …
That picture alone did the trick. Can’t wait to try the bread! Thanks for sharing.
