Seriously Simple: Citrus quick bread is my Mother’s Day favorite

Diane Rossen Worthington, Tribune Content Agency on

Mother’s Day can be filled with anxiety. How best to celebrate your mom? Does she like going out to dinner, spending the day at a long brunch or tea with the family or maybe a hike and a picnic? Once you decide what makes her happy, you can proceed.

So, what am I hoping for this Mother’s Day? Brunch or tea with my daughter. And nothing makes me happier than when she lays out a simple but inviting table of goodies that include this sunny lemon-lime pound cake.

This cross between a tea bread and a cake is chock-full of citrus flavor. Cake flour produces a lighter crumb texture than all-purpose flour. (Don’t worry, all-purpose flour will work fine.) Serve with fresh berries or fresh fruit salad and a dollop of lemon curd or lemon yogurt. The lime glaze adds another flavor layer and a pretty presentation.

You can double or triple the recipe easily, so you can give your mom an extra loaf to take home. It can also be made a day ahead. So, add this to your Mother’s Day brunch or invite your mom over for tea and serve this for a perfectly lovely moment celebrating your mom
