Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Add the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the bread cools, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.

Step 11

Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.

Step 12

Slice and serve the lemon bread as desired. Enjoy!
