Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use fresh lemon juice and zest. You can also use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the bread needs to bake longer.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • For a sweeter bread, add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the batter.
  • For a more tart bread, add 1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter.
  • To make a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers to work the ingredients together until they resemble coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter before baking.
