Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Using the back of the spoon, evenly spread the batter.

bake
16
Bake for approximately ⏱️ 50 minutes. The top will be browned, and a toothpick inserted into the middle will come out clean once done. Allow to cool in the pan for about ⏱️ 10 minutes, then turn the pan upside down to remove the bread from the pan. Move the loaf to a wire rack to continue cooling.

While the bread is cooling, you can prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, add 1 cup powdered sugar, then the zest of 1 lemon. Pour in 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice and stir. Start with 1 tablespoon and if the glaze is tasting tart enough (depends on the lemon used!), then use half and half or heavy cream to get the correct consistency. The glaze will be smooth. Stir until there are no clumps of sugar remaining. Add more sugar or more juice to obtain the desired consistency.
