Our best lemon bread recipe is a spring and summer dream. It\u2019s the perfect recipe to whip up when the temperatures start to creep into the 50s and the yearning for bright, sunshiny lemon flavors is calling from within. Every slice is tender, moist and perfumed with lemon, and the top of the loaf is covered in a sticky lemon glaze. For all the lemon lovers out there, serve a slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a bit of lemon curd.<\/p>\n
Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar<\/a> until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes.<\/p>\n Then, beat in the eggs, lemon zest and juice until well combined.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip: <\/em>Use a\u00a0good hand mixer<\/a>\u00a0or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.<\/p>\n Next, alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk into the creamed mixture, combining after each addition.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> To ensure all the liquid is thoroughly absorbed into the batter, pour half the flour mixture into the creamed mixture and beat just until combined. Pour in all the milk, beat well, then beat in the rest of the flour mixture just until combined. Don’t overbeat the final flour mixture into the batter or else the lemon bread may turn out dense. Take a moment to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.<\/p>\n Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the bread in its pan at room temperature for 15 minutes, then transfer the bread onto a wire rack.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners\u2019 sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze evenly on the top of the bread. Serve your slices while they\u2019re still warm, although they can be served at room temperature too. Whichever you and your guests prefer!<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0Add extra confectioners\u2019 sugar if you want your glaze to be a bit thicker, or add lemon juice, water or milk if you want it thinner.<\/p>\n To store, wrap the glazed lemon bread loosely in storage wrap or place it in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze this lemon bread recipe. Wrap the room-temperature, unglazed lemon bread in storage wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Keep the loaf in the freezer for up to two months. When you\u2019re ready to enjoy it, thaw the loaf at room temperature or overnight in the fridge, then drizzle on the glaze.<\/p>\n While you\u2019ll get bright, lemony flavor from both, lemon extract and lemon juice are not the same. Lemon extract is traditionally made by extracting oils from lemon peels that have been soaked in alcohol. It has a much stronger and intense lemon flavor than lemon juice, which is squeezed from the flesh of a lemon.<\/p>\n Bottled lemon juice can be used in place of fresh, especially when used in a baked good like this best lemon bread recipe. Keep in mind, however, that preservatives are in the bottled juice. It will not have that bright, clean flavor that fresh juice imparts. If a recipe depends on that wonderful citrus flavor, as with this lemon chicken with orzo<\/a>, always opt for fresh lemon juice.<\/p>\n Whole lemons keep well in the refrigerator for up to three to four weeks. Wash your lemons well and keep them in the crisper drawer. Better yet, store your lemons all together in a resealable bag in the refrigerator to prolong their lasting power by up to a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I often bake this sunshiny-sweet lemon bread when company’s due.

Lemon Bread Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n
Is lemon extract the same as lemon juice?<\/h3> \r\nWhile you\u2019ll get bright, lemony flavor from both, lemon extract and lemon juice are not the same. Lemon extract<\/a> is traditionally made by extracting oils in lemon peels that have been soaked in alcohol. It has a much stronger and intense lemon flavor than lemon juice, which is squeezed from the flesh of a lemon. Learn how to juice a lemon the easy way<\/a>.\r\n\r\n
Can I use lemon juice instead of fresh lemon?<\/h3> \r\nBottled lemon juice can be used in recipes in place of fresh, especially when using it for a baked good, like in this lemon layer cake<\/a>. Keep in mind, however, that preservatives are in bottled juice. It will not have that bright, clean flavor that fresh juice imparts. If a recipe depends on that wonderful citrus flavor, like in this lemon chicken with orzo<\/a>, always opt for fresh lemon juice. \r\n\r\n
How long do lemons last?<\/h3> \r\nWhole lemons keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 weeks. Wash your lemons well and keep them in the crisper drawer. Better yet, store your lemons all together in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator, which could prolong their lasting power by up to a week.","Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"I often bake this sunshiny, sweet bread when company's due.
