Lemon Drizzle Loaf

Ingredients:

1 cup very soft butter

1 cup granulated sugar

Zest of 3 lemons

4 eggs

2 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup milk

Drizzle:

Juice of 3 lemons

1/2 cup sugar

Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and set aside.

Cream together the soft butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well in between each.

Add the lemon zest and mix well.

Add the milk and whisk until smooth.

Add the flour, salt and baking powder and mix until just barely combined.

Spread into a lined bread pan and bake for about an hour. Poke the center with a toothpick and if it comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs it’s done.

While it’s warm make the syrup.

Poke holes all over the loaf using a skewer. Pour the syrup over the warm bread while still in the loaf pan. Cool completely then remove from the pan and enjoy.
