Delicious Lemon Tea Bread Recipe – Easy to Make

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help incorporate air.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

    This incorporates air for a lighter texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Flavorings

    Add the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture, mixing well.

    Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better blending.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk.

    Do not overmix; stop as soon as combined.
  6. Pour into Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

    Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check for doneness a few minutes early to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Serve warm or at room temperature.
