Topped with a homemade Earl Grey glaze, this loaf cake is one of my favorites! The mix of lemon and Earl Grey works beautifully, and it's delicious served as dessert or even breakfast.
It's no secret that I have some strong feelings for Earl Grey.
But, if I have to be honest, this Earl Grey and Lemon Loaf Cake might just be my favorite recipe with this particular flavor yet. The cake itself is moist and bursting with lemon flavor, but the Earl Grey glaze is the real star of the show.
And when it comes to cakes, loaf cakes are definitely the easiest way to go. There's no need to worry about achieving perfect frosting or smooth sides — just drizzle some glaze on top and you're good to go!
