Easy Lemon Loaf Recipe with Homemade Glaze

This delicious Lemon Loaf Recipe is a great addition to your home-baked goods recipes. A delicious loaf with a light glaze is an ideal snack or treat!lemon loaf and slices with glaze

I don’t know about you but my family and I LOVE a good lemon loaf, it’s like we’re addicted to it. Whether I make it with poppy seeds or without I always have to make at least a double batch because they simply don’t last around here.

If you’d like some more lemon-y goodness make sure to check out our No-Bake Mini Lemon Cheesecakes recipe, they are delicious and oh so easy to make.

Can you freeze a lemon loaf?

You sure can, I prefer to use a vacuum seal bag on the gentle setting. I need to remember the next time I make this lemon loaf recipe to make a quadruple batch so that I can actually freeze one or two of these lemon loaves before they’re all gone. They are simply divine to have on any day to be honest but if I don’t put some away and freeze it they are gone within a couple of days. lemon loaf with lemons in the background

Is it lemon pound cake?

It depends on who you ask I think but in my opinion this is the same as a lemon pound cake. There are a zillion recipes out there but I like this one because it’s the perfect amount of lemony-ess and easy to make.

What do you need to make a lemon loaf?

Ingredients for the loaf

  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs, room temperature
  • Butter, softened
  • Lemons
  • Whole MIlk

bread pan

Ingredients for the glaze

  • Confectioners’ sugar also known as icing sugar
  • Milk

Items you need to make the lemon loaf

  1. 8×4 loaf pan
  2. Large mixing bowl
  3. Wire rack

glazing lemon bread

How to make the lemon loaf

  1. Sift together all dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until creamy. Add butter and mix thoroughly, followed by the lemon juice and zest.
  2. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes. 
  4. Make the glaze and pour over cooled lemon loaf. Top with lemon zest if you wish.

What can you serve this lemon loaf with?

It’s great with tea, coffee a glass of milk or if you love lemon loaves as much as we do, all by its lonesome, all that lemon-y goodness. 

Is the lemon loaf easy to make?

Yes it is, as long as you follow the instructions. Don’t veer from the instructions unless you’re a pro at making lemon loaves. Once you’ve made it a few times you can play around with it if you like. Until then it’s great as is. lemon loaf

Description

This delicious Lemon Loaf Recipe is a great addition to your home-baked goods recipes. A delicious loaf with a light glaze is an ideal snack or treat!


Scale

Ingredients

Lemon Loaf

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 stick butter (approx. ½ cup), softened
  • Juice and zest of one lemon (approx. 2 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp lemon zest)
  • ½ cup whole milk

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp lemon juice (or more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Grease an 8×4 loaf pan with butter and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until creamy.
  5. Add butter and mix thoroughly, followed by the lemon juice and zest.
  6. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix thoroughly.
  7. Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
  8. Mix together confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice. Use enough lemon juice to make it a pourable glaze. Pour over cooled loaf. You can top with lemon zest if you like. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

You can add more lemon zest to the batter and also on top of the glaze if you want a more lemon-y test.

If you use lemon extract, use less and note that the taste is not the same but it’s an alternative. If you don’t have fresh lemons then yes the lemon juice in the bottles can be used but fresh lemons are the best.

    This looks tantalizing. I’d make it today if I had a lemon (I have all the other ingredients). I do have a bottle of lemon juice, but since you said don’t tinker with the recipe I won’t try that substitution. I guess I’ll have to wait….something to look forward to ….

    I love a lemon glaze, with the powdered sugar and lemon juice. It’s good on just about every kind of cake, except some chocolate cakes.

    This looks just too delicious. I just happen to have bought a bag of lemons the last time I was at the store and need to use them very soon, It is going to be rainy and chilly here tomorrow and calls for a little stress relief baking. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    I do not have whole milk, what would be a good substitute?

      You can use 2% but keep in mind this most likely would alter the flavor of the lemon bread. If you have it put some heavy cream in with the 2% you’ll have to play with the ratio. You can also try melted butter in skim, 1% or 2% milk but as I haven’t done it myself I can’t guarantee how it would come out. I wouldn’t put more than 2tsp of melted butter in the milk though.
