Lemon Glaze Frosting Ingredients

2 cups icing sugar
rind and juice of 1 lemon
1 Tablespoon (15g) butter, at room temperature

Tip to soften up butter

If the butter is cold and hard because you forgot to take it out of the fridge in time, place it on a side plate. Cook water till it’s boiling, and fill up a mug. Let it sit and when the mug is nice and hot, toss the water, and put the mug over the butter on the plate. Leave it for a minute or so, and you will have room-temperature butter.

Method:

Whisk icing sugar, lemon juice, butter, and ½ the lemon rind until very thick and white.
Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled loaf and decorate with the remaining rind.

My 7-year-old granddaughter, Nikita, made the banana and lemon loaf (with Mimi’s help) and most of it has been eaten already. It was so delicious and I did make the icing but we ate the loaf and forgot about the icing.
