2tablespoonsfresh lemon juice
1tablespoongrated lemon zest
1½cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking powder

½cupmilk
For The Glaze
½cuppowdered sugar
2tablespoonsfresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan with butter and set aside. You can also line the pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir it into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beating well after each addition.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 15 minutes; then remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack.
Whisk the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small mixing bowl, and drizzle the glaze over the lemon bread.
Lemon Juice: I advise using fresh lemon juice rather than bottled lemon juice because the bottled juice will not have the bright, lemony flavor you get with fresh juice. Add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter if you like a more intense lemon flavor.Adapted from Taste of Home.
