Lemon & Ginger Loaf Recipe

Light, zesty and wonderfully comforting, this Lemon & Ginger Loaf is the perfect bake for a simple moment of feel-good. With a gentle warmth from ginger and a fresh citrus lift, it’s a lovely treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or to share with friends.

You can use any of our honeys in this recipe, but we especially recommend Royal Honey. Its smooth, delicate sweetness adds a naturally uplifting twist, complementing the lemon and ginger beautifully without overpowering the flavours.

Easy to make and beautifully moist, this is one of those bakes you’ll come back to time and time again.

Ingredients

(serves 8–10 slices)

• 200g self-raising flour

• 150g caster sugar

• 120ml natural yoghurt

• 2 tablespoons Just Bee Honey (we recommend Royal Honey for a smooth, gentle sweetness)

• 2 eggs

• 100ml olive oil

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 1–2 teaspoons ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger)

Method

1. Preheat the Oven:

   Heat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line a loaf tin with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, yoghurt, olive oil and Just Bee Honey until smooth and well combined.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients:

   Gently fold in the self-raising flour, ginger and lemon zest until just combined. Take care not to overmix—this helps keep the loaf light and tender.

4. Bake:

   Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

5. Cool and Serve:

   Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy with a good cup of tea.

This Lemon & Ginger Loaf is light, fragrant and gently spiced, with the natural sweetness of Just Bee Honey bringing everything together beautifully.

Simple, uplifting, and perfect for those quiet, cosy moments. 🍋🍯✨
