Lemon and lime loaf cake with citrus glazing (1)

I managed to get really juicy lemons and limes last week and have been enjoying homemade lemonade with crushed mint and ice at home. Very refreshing in this unusually warm Irish summer. To kick off the weekend, I took advantage of this wonderful batch of citrus fruit and baked a lemon and lime loaf cake with a citrus glazing.

I made something similar for the first time a good few years ago, a zesty lemon pound cake. But at the time, I wasn't overly concerned with avoiding wheat (and so I used cream flour) or using only natural ingredients (hence the addition of lemon essence). I do remember it being rather tasty, and so I decided to make another one using coconut flour.
