Mini Lemon Loaf Cakes

Just Lemon!

A couple of days ago I made Quick Lemon Lover Baked Doughnuts, well my family wants more Lemon, so here we go.

Sorry mixer you will get your rest in about 1 week, until then we bake!

Zest first, then juice your lemons.

This lemon glaze is so good, you can use this on cookies, cakes, donuts. Just add about 1/2 cup more of powdered sugar for cookies and it's the best cookie glaze I have ever made.

 Put a bow on it and give it as gifts, who wouldn't want this for a present.
