My grandfather was a big fan of baked goods with his morning coffee. For as long as I can remember, he would spend an hour or so, savoring the sweetness while nursing his coffee. The routine sometimes carries over into the afternoon with his tea. Grandpa always had a soft spot for any baked goods with a fruit flavor. Lemon loaves is one of his favorites.
Loaf:
1 box of lemon cake mix
1 box of lemon pudding
1/2 cup of oil
4 large eggs
1 tsp lemon extract
1 cup whole milk
1 Tbsp flour
Zest of lemon, optional
Icing:
2.5 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tsp of lemon juice or milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Set aside.
Combine all ingredients and mix well for about 4-5 minutes.
Pour into pan and bake for about 40 minutes or when the center is clean after poking with toothpick. Allow to cool completely before icing it. Keep the loaf in the pan.
Add the lemon juice or milk to the powder sugar slowly by adding a little at a time and stirring until you see a nice thick and gooey consistency. You are looking for a blob just runny enough to pour.
Looks delicious! Dave @ Yelp :-)
