Ingredients
Lemon Bread Ingredients:
- 2 eggs large
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups flour
- 1-½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Lemon Glaze Ingredients:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ to 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Lemon Bread Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, sugar, oil, lemon zest and lemon juice. Set aside.
- In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated, being careful not to over mix.
- Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick baking spray containing flour or grease the pan well with butter. Pour the batter into the pan.
- Bake about 35-40 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on your bread. The bread is done when a toothpick or skewer inserted in the center comes out "mostly" clean. A couple of moist crumbs are okay.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
Lemon Glaze Directions:
- When the bread is cool, whisk the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl, adding enough lemon juice to make a smooth, pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
Sharon's Expert Tips:
- You can use either Meyer or regular lemons. For a delicious change of pace, you can also substitute lime juice or even fresh orange juice for the lemon zest and juice in this recipe.
- If you are using either a dark metal pan or a glass baking dish, reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and start checking the bread for doneness at about 30 minutes.
