How to make lemon loaves:

Making Lemon Loaf is easy and straightforward! Let’s Go and Do:

Get your oven preheated to 180°C (350°F).

Before starting baking, take only a moment to prepare your 9×5 inch loaf pan, then give it a light coating of grease and a layer of flour.

Using a whisk, stir the dry ingredients – baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour – together in a medium-sized bowl.

In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, and milk.

Nice and easy, start by adding the dry ingredients to the wet mixture & keep stirring until everything is blended together.

Fill up your prepped loaf pan with the batter mixture..

Now, put our yummy loaves in the oven, and don’t forget to keep an eye on it, it should take between 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Before slicing, let the loaves for 10 minutes to rest in the pan and then transfer them to a wire rack for a complete cooling process. Enjoy!

My Best Tips for the tastiest homemade lemon loaf:

• Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. The zest and juice of fresh lemons will give your loaf a brighter and more zesty flavor than using bottled lemon juice.
• Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in a dense and tough loaf, so be sure to mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
• Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. This will help prevent the loaf from falling apart and will give you clean and neat slices.
