Citrus Glaze Drizzle – A shiny lemon glaze adds a fresh tang and a pretty finish. Just mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle generously.
Candied Lemon Slices – Add an elegant touch by topping your loaf with thinly sliced candied lemons. They look fancy and taste even better.
Poppy Seed Dusting – After glazing, lightly sprinkle extra poppy seeds on top for a visual hint of what’s inside.
Mini Loaves or Muffins – Bake the batter in mini loaf pans or muffin tins for individual portions. Perfect for parties or bake sales.
Edible Flowers – Press a few edible flowers like pansies or violets on the glazed top. They add color and a garden-fresh vibe.
Yogurt and Berry Topping – Serve slices with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a handful of fresh berries for a plated brunch treat.
Lemon Zest Garnish – Grate some fresh lemon zest over the loaf just before serving. It wakes up the flavor and adds brightness.
Layered with Cream Cheese Frosting – Cut the loaf into layers and spread lemony cream cheese frosting in between for a cake-like experience.
