Lemon Loaf with Raspberry Sauce-The fresh sweet and tart flavors of raspberry and lemon pair together beautifully. This fresh treat is perfect for early mornings on the patio with a cup of coffee or tea.
What do you do when you have ripe fruit that’s approaching the “past their prime” state? Well your first choice is to eat it, actually when you eat fruit can make a difference in the amount of nutrients you received. Ripe berries and grapes have higher levels of anti-inflammatory flavonoids which is thought to protect our brains.
When fruit ripens, the starch is converted into sugar and it becomes softer, sweeter, less acidic and much tastier.
Your second choice is to freeze it, I like to freeze and use in smoothies.
Your third choice is to use it in a recipe, and that’s how I used these sweet raspberries. Paired with fresh lemon juice, these raspberries make a sweet, tart and tasty raspberry sauce that can be used over yogurt, ice cream and one of my favorites is to serve it with this lemon loaf.
I hope this puts a smile on your face the way it makes me smile. You may get lost in its deliciousness. Serve a sliced with fresh raspberries and coconut cream or slice and dice the loaf and serve in a cloud of raspberry sauce and whipped coconut cream.

I love how simple your loaf recipe is. The yellow and red colors look fabulous together! Another great recipe Celeste!
Thanks Alison, this loaf is so good and hard to eat all at once. I sliced, wrapped and placed in the freezer so I would eat it all.
This lemon loaf put a BIG 🙂 on my face! The moisture is screaming, “Take a bite out of me!”.
It is so good, I had to slice and freeze so that I wouldn’t eat it all at once.
Have been craving lemon loaf lately, and this one looks delicious. Hope to try it in the weekend. Found you at Project Inspire(d).
I hope you get a chance to try this. You will love. Thanks for stopping by.
Great recipe and I just love the colour of raspberries. Thanks for sharing with us at Over the Moon it is a delicious idea for afternoon tea.
You are welcome Sue. This is great with tea or coffee, I’ve had it with both.
Have a great week.
Wow, the color of that raspberry sauce is stunning! All of this looks fantastic – I often freeze “just past its prime” fruit to use in smoothies, but this looks far tastier 😉
Thanks CakePants, I sometimes freeze my fruit as well, but sometimes I just have to have something a little sweet to satisfy my sweet tooth.
This looks amazing! What a great flavor combo. I’m looking forward to my raspberries blooming.
Have fun making and eating this delicious loaf Jamie.
This looks sooooo good. Can’t wait to try and make this over the weekend.
Hi Melissa, I certainly hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by.

Two of my favorite things – lemons and raspberries. I love how they go together. This looks so yummy!
Pinning and making.

Isn’t it wonderful how they taste so good together, but then I think lemon brightens everything.
This sounds so perfect. The flavor combination is the best. I’m drinking coffee right now, wish I had a slice, or two! LOL There’s nothing that gets me in the spring mood like the lemon flavor in a pastry. Top it off with a raspberry sauce and glaze…I’m there!!!
Lemon is one of my favorite citrus flavors and I think it makes anything taste better because it brightens flavors.
Yum! This looks absolutely fantastic! Lemon and raspberries is such a wonderful combination. Thanks for sharing on the Healthy Living Link Party 🙂 We hope to see you back tonight!
Lemons are one of my favorite fruits, I think I could eat it with just about anything.
Thanks for stopping by and have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.
Two of my favorite flavors! This looks divine! 🙂
Thanks Courtney! Have a wonderful weekend.
