Luscious Lemon Poppyseed Loaf ~ Recipe
It’s spring time finally and what better way to perk up your day than with a slice of sweet and tart lemon poppyseed loaf? I love just about anything made with lemons don’t you? That tangy sour fruit tamed down in a bread flecked with little pops of black poppyseed?
I love sitting down in the afternoon (when I get a chance) with a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of this luscious lemon poppyseed loaf.
My kids really love it too! In fact, I have a funny little story for you.
I had to bake several batches of this lemon poppyseed loaf and try and get a couple of photos for this post because my kids and hubby kept scarfing down the loaves before I could photograph it! I had to hide this one away until I had enough time to take some pics. Oh well, I’m just glad they enjoy it as much as I do.
Also, I think next time I make this I am going to try substituting the sugar with honey and see how that goes as I’m trying to steer us away from refined sugars. I will let you know how it goes, or if you try doing that before I do, let us know in the comments how it turned out, deal? Oh, and feel free to use the hashtag #justdabblinginthekitchen
