CopyCat Starbucks Mini Lemon Loaves
These delicious loaves are perfectly lemon-y and moist!
Christmas is only 3 days away! I love baking during the holidays and I thought a lemon loaf cake would make such a nice Christmas gift for friends and neighbors. I know that the holiday season is difficult for so many, so this will bring some holiday cheer!
The mini cakes are so lemony and moist! The glaze is so delicious! Perfect with your cup of Joe!
I made a light glaze, but you can make yours thicker and sweeter by adding more sugar.
I found the cutest Christmas boxes and tins at Ocean State Job Lot. The Lemon Loaves fit perfectly and can be shipped off across the country!
This recipe makes 4 Mini Loaves.
Ready for gifting!
Merry Christmas from my Kitchen to Yours! XXOO Nettie
