Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice for glaze
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 5
Beat in the lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not 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 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
While the loaf is cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 11
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled lemon loaf.
Step 12
Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
