Moist and tangy Lemon Drizzle Loaf with a sweet lemon glaze. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert. Easy to bake and bursting with fresh lemon flavor.
Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
⅓ cup milk
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy.
4. Stir in the melted butter, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the loaf is still warm, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the drizzle glaze.
9. Pour the glaze over the warm loaf, letting it soak in and harden slightly before slicing.
