Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Step 4: Combine the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until fully combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.
Step 5: Bake the Lemon Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled lemon bread and let it set for a few minutes before slicing.
