Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest about 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk whole or 2%; dairy or non-dairy
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional glaze 2 cups powdered sugar + 3-4 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, lining with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined and aerated.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, blending well.
- Stir in lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is uniform and fragrant.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice to a pourable glaze, then drizzle over the cooled loaf. Slice with a serrated knife.
Notes
For a brighter citrus punch, add a teaspoon of lemon extract. Store slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
