A loaf... oh yes loaf, it can be a snack, a dessert, some maple syrup on top of it, and you're sorted for breakfast.
Or sometimes, you just bored and these loaf slices are just about handy
and thats what I exactly did.... !!!
This lemon yogurt loaf, recipe adapted from the famous Ina Garten, is simple; all u need is a bowl and a spatula to whip this loaf up, and stuff that gets into the loaf are again always available.
No special ingredients just some basics off the pantry and you're ready to go.
The lemon loaf made here is without the syrup and the glaze, you can go ahead and make the syrup and the glaze for a complete dessert.
The recipe for syrup and glaze are below the main recipe
