Lemons scream summertime to us. They are refreshing, and cooking with them is so comforting. Not only do they smell delicious, but they give such good flavor to anything, including a baked good. We love the taste of lemon, and always are on the hunt for a lemon baked good that is moist, zesty and also sweet. Having a loaf laying around the house can be a bit dangerous to us, because we can polish it off in no time flat. This loaf was no exception! This Lemon Glaze Lemon Loaf is very sweet and is a perfect summertime treat!
