Honey, Lemon & Yoghurt Loaf

Refreshing, light and tasty - the perfect snack or dessert after dinnertime. It’s mixture of refreshing ingredients creates a moist, fresh cake which is pleasing and not too heavy on the stomach.
Escape from the chaos outside, pop on your favourite tunes and bake until your hearts content. We hope you enjoy as much as we did and hopefully it lasts a little longer in your household (it was gone in 1 day in ours!)
