Lemon Bread-perfect with an afternoon cup of tea. Also makes a great gift!
I probably don’t want to know. Pinterest is addicting, but I can justify it. I find the best ideas to try. Not just cooking but decorating, crafts. A picture IS WORTH a thousand words. And the picture and the name of this recipe just sucked me in.

Great post! I would be happy to receive this lemon bread as a gift! And I know what you mean about pintrest… It is so addictive! Thanks for sharing this recipe π
O dear!! I’m simply going to have to make this! I adore lemon bread!! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
These lemon loaves look amazing!
The Lemon loaves look amazing! I’m definately going to try it out. Honestly, I’m new to cooking, and haven’t had a chance to surf through your website. But I shall definately try this recipe and more in the future. I’m a fan on your facebook page.
I have been looking at this recipe for days now. I put this recipe on my desk top because it is NEXT to be baked. I do not believe in just posting oh how good it looks but emphatically stating this will be done in a few hours … And I will definitely tell you how fabulous it looks but how Devine the taste is …
Just finished cutting into this bread… It is Fabulous. It seems more like a cake. Really does not matter… Both go down the same way. The bread has a great texture. I followed exactly as the recipe suggested except I added coconut on top of the glaze before it set. In the powder sugar mixture I added just a small amount of coconut with a dash of coconut extract. This is a cake that will be made at least once a month in my home of one with very little being shared. Each day I go from blog to blog making my weekly list of must-makes. If it is picked that week it will be baked. So glad I bumped into your blog … Thank you so much.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Mary, I love you addition of the coconut. Lemon and coconut go so well together.
Joan ~ This sounds so delicously springy! It is making me think of warmer days ahead, so I should be making this soon!
pinterest and lemon…both my downfalls!
Could this recipe be made in mini loaf pans and how long would I bake them?
Oh yes, you can definitely make these mini, shorten the time by 5 minutes and then check them with a toothpick for doneness. Enjoy!
Thanks Joan. I hope to make these as Christmas gifts. Looks delicious.
Okay – I am not a baker, but this looks fabulous – so I need explicit instruction – as far as mini loaves go – are you talking about mini loaf pans that are found in the grocery store – 3 or so sold together – and just divide the mixture and cook 5 minutes less? I am anal when it comes to baking so need step by step – thanks for a reply. I want to make these in mini loaves – π
Hi Lauren, yes, the mini paper loaf pans or I have smaller ceramic ones. Just divide the mixture and then cook for 5 minutes less. Use a toothpick to test for doneness. A few crumbs sticking to the toothpick is fine you just want your batter fully cooked.
Just finished making these loaves. They were not as lemony as I thought they would be but they are delicious. The texture is what is wonderful, more cakey than a bread loaf and simply lovely. Thanks for the great recipe, will be making these again for sure!
Next time try doubling the syrup and make sure you poke a LOT of holes all the way to the bottom.
I have to admit these look delicious. But a POUND of butter and more than 4 1/2 CUPS of sugar? I can’t make these. Perhaps as a gift for someone I don’t like.
Come on Dave…why do you think they are so delicious!!
The lemon cakes were awesome. Super easy to make and they taste as good as they look. Thank you,
First Time on comments
Does it have to be cake flour?? Regular won’t work? Thx.
I’ve made this many times. It’s our favorite dessert around here. I double the syrup, though, and I’ve found it looks much prettier baked in a bundt pan!!
Oh and also, I use 2 cups cake flour and 1 cup all purpose flour. I also use 4 teaspoons vanilla bean paste and at least twice as much lemon zest as called for. I also make extra glaze too… lol. One last thing… When using the bundt pan you can poke holes in the bottom and brush the syrup on, then remove from pan, poke holes all over the top, sides, and inside the hole and brush syrup on the entire cake… just be sure to double the amount of syrup you make.
Love your recipes! This looks delicious but I never buy cake flour . I only use all purpose flour……What can I do to make it come out right? Thanks!
Joy the Baker has a great substitute for cake flour here using all purpose flour and cornstarch https://joythebaker.com/2013/12/baking-101-the-best-cake-flour-substitute/
Thanks Joy!
I’m sorry….Thanks Joan…..senior moment π
This recipe is the best! I made two loafs and took one to work for the guys. THEY LOVED IT! The whole thing was gone in less than two hours and many were disappointed when they came back for more and it was all gone. I have to say the other loaf tasted as good as the first! Family and friends loved it. Does it have a lot of sugar and butter? Well, yeah, that’s what makes it taste so good. It’s a treat for sure and one I will make again!
So glad everyone enjoyed it!
Wow! Exactly what I want to eat right now with my cup of tea. What’s exactly the size of the 2 regular pans? Thanks.
thank u so much for sharing of making the cake than i enjoy for making the cake
