Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 whole Zest of lemon
• 0.5 cup Butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice for glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Rub together with your fingers until the sugar is fragrant and a light yellow color.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the sugar and whisk until combined.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 8

Gently fold in the fresh lemon juice.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the lemon bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

For the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth and pourable.

Step 13

Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
