Glazed Lemon Bread
Recipes » Bread » Fruit Bread
Very lemony, very tasty and very easy to make. My mother once won a contest with her Glazed Lemon Bread recipe. It's a wonderfully moist bread, saturated with lemony flavor, that's great for breakfast, as a dessert or just as a snack. I prefer my mother's recipe over other lemon bread recipes because the glaze is allowed to saturate the bread all the way through...also, heating the glaze to melt the sugar helps it go on smoothly, unlike the usual method which is "grainy" from unmelted sugar.
"I was looking for a recipe for something more like a pound cake. So the texture kinda surprised me, although it is called bread! For bread, it is VERY good. Letting it cool completely is very important for preventing it from falling apart when you slice it (I know! Very hard to do!) Flavor is awesome. Kids loved it. Mine sunk in the middle too, don't know if i did something wrong or if that's what it is supposed to do. " - nlbumannYield: 9 Servings Ready in 1 hours

Notes Glazed Lemon Bread Preparation
Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
Whisk the flour, salt, sugar, lemon peel and baking powder together in a large bowl; set aside.
In a medium bowl beat eggs with milk, butter, lemon juice and vanilla. Add egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. (Do not remove the bread from the pan.)
To prepare Lemon Glaze: While the bread is baking, combine lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan, stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
After removing the bread from the oven (and still in the pan), use a long wooden skewer to poke numerous holes in hot bread, piercing all the way to the bottom. Slowly drizzle hot glaze over bread and baste top several times. Allow time between bastings for glaze to soak in. Let bread cool in pan on a wire rack until glaze is set, about 20 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.

When I made the lemon bread with my nieces, they wanted more glaze...so, we made double glazed lemon bread.

Glazed Lemon Bread Reviews

Bread fell in the middle and i definitely did not 'bump' the oven! Quite a disappointment.

First cake/bread I've ever made. Very simple recipe to follow. Turned out very good. Was a little tart at first but the following day was really good and only slightly tart. Will definitely be mailing again. Thanks for the recipe.

Very delicious cake. I found the glaze a little tart for my liking. Next time, I will just omit it as I feel the cake/bread is very tasty on its own. Thanks for sharing.

It was so delicious! My glaze didn't look all white and glaze-y though so I'm not sure what I did wrong. But it tasted awesome! I even made it into cupcakes also

This bread is great! The best lemon bread I have ever made.

Absolutely wonderful. We've already gobbled up half of the loaf!
As mentioned, I also reduced the baking soda to 1 tsp.

Just finished making this recipe and of course I had to sample. It was wonderful, sweet and tart. I was looking for a different recipe from the standard holiday recipes and this is it! Plan on making 5 more loaves to give for the holidays.

Absolutely delicious! VERY easy to make. I've always wanted to try a lemon loaf recipe....this is now in my favorites! Note: I also used just 1 teaspoon of baking powder

This is my go to bread and the recipe has been requested many times. Thank you for sharing it with us and congratulations to your mother on winning a contest with it. My husband just asked me not to freeze all three loafs.

Yummy! ^ ^ and about the glaze, I added less sugar, added a little honey, and lemon extract plus juice, came out as a kind of hard chewy candy top but to me it contrasts nicely with the moist lemony bread, and thanks for the reviews y'all, I went with a tsp of baking powder instead and it was perfect
