Best Lemon Loaf
A moist lemon glazed loaf that uses good fruity olive oil instead of butter and tons of freshly grated lemon zest throughout the dairy-free batter and the icing. If you have any lavender or thyme blooming in a container sprinkle some over the icing, it's just prettier and adds a beautiful aroma that compliments the lemon.
