Categories     Desserts

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
½ cup unsalted butter, softened, 1 stick
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch (22 x 12 cm) loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat to incorporate, scraping down the side of the bowl between additions.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, lemon juice and zest, and vanilla until smooth.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Alternately add the dry and wet ingredients to the batter, about ⅓ at a time, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat between each addition until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
  • Make the lemon icing: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the icing evenly over the top of the cake, spreading to reach the edges of the pan. Let the glaze set completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful lemon bread, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the loaf pan before adding the batter. This will help the bread to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly loaf of bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Lemon bread is a classic, delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its zesty lemon flavor and moist, tender texture, lemon bread is the perfect addition to any breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, you'll find that making lemon bread is a fun and rewarding experience.
