Now, I'm not many things, but a hell of a baker is something I'm proud to
And so, I was gifted a tiny piece of her baking talent and she has been thrilled to share all of her mouth-watering recipes with me. I have one spoiled husband. On to the task at hand...a light, fluffy, simple lemon bread. Ladies, if you want to impress someone, you gotta bake this shit. Not only does it look beautiful right out of the oven, but it's super easy and requires only one mixing bowl and a loaf pan.
Aunt Marge's recipe is an old one - so it uses lemon juice from the bottle for simplicity. If you want to replace it with fresh lemon juice, be my guest. Hell, throw some zest in there! This recipe has a really delicate lemon flavor (carried through the glaze), so feel free to play.
Aunt Marge's Lemon Bread
1/2 c. oil
1 c. sugar
3 Tbs. lemon juice
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk (whole, if you have it)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. of flour
pinch of salt
Glaze:
1/4 c. sugar
3 Tbs. lemon juice
Mix all the bread ingredients together and pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes at 350 degrees (or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean).
While hot, pour glaze over the top. Let stand 30 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this bread as much as I do - I love it still warm from the oven with a tall glass of iced tea (although I will wait until warmer weather for the latter).
HUGS!
