Can you believe summer is right around the corner? I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for picnic desserts and all things fruity and refreshing! That’s why I had to share this moist, sweet Strawberry Lemonade Loaf recipe.
Bursting with juicy strawberries and tangy lemon zest, it’s basically summer in a cake. And it could not be easier to whip up. I’ll walk you through it:
Rub lemon zest into the sugar to release the citrus oils
Cream the lemon sugar with softened butter until light and fluffy
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the lemon juice
Alternate adding the buttermilk and flour mixture
Fold in fresh chopped strawberries
Divide the batter between two loaf pans and bake
In 30 minutes you’ll have two gorgeous loaves ready for slicing!
This bright loaf cake is wonderful on its own, or try topping it with a dusting of powdered sugar or lemon glaze if you want to gild the lily.
It’s the ultimate coffee cake for lazy summer mornings on the porch. Or bring it along on a picnic or potluck – the possibilities are endless!
Let me know if you give this easy Strawberry Lemonade Loaf a try. I’d love to hear how you serve it up! Wishing you the sweetest days ahead.
