I originally posted this recipe in 2011. I had mentioned at that time that one of our grandsons would ask me to bake "Wemon Woaf". Four years later he's still asking me to bake his favourite...."Lemon Loaf".
Easter, pretty colours, lemon and special treats just go together. I baked these sweet little loaves up this past week and made some deliveries.
(I divided the batter between 5 smaller disposable pans. Baking time adjusted to size of pan being used)
Ingredients:
- 1 lemon supreme boxed cake mix
- 1 99gr package jello instant lemon pudding powder
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 cup water
Method:
- Put all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and beat together for 3 minutes.
- Pour into 2 greased loaf pans, and bake @ 350º for 45-50 minutes. To test insert a tooth pick and if it comes out clean it is done.
- Let rest in pans for 5 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack. Glaze immediately.
Glaze: (optional)
- juice of 1 lemon
- juice of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Stir together until smooth, and paint top of hot loaves allowing the glaze to run down the edges.
Freezes well.
Once cooled, add a thin layer of icing made from powdered sugar and a little bit of lemon juice or warm water. Stir until smooth, and pour over loaves.
