Tips:

  • For a moist and tender lemon loaf, use a combination of butter and oil in the batter. Butter adds richness and flavor, while oil helps keep the loaf moist.
  • Make sure to zest the lemons before juicing them. The zest contains the most flavor and will give your loaf a bright, citrusy taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the loaf.
  • Allow the loaf to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set and prevent it from running off the loaf.

Conclusion:

Lemon loaf is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist, tender crumb and bright, citrusy flavor, lemon loaf is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
