- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in large eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition, then stir in the zest of 2 lemons and fresh lemon juice.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth; drizzle over cooled bread.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding poppy seeds to the batter. Enjoy this bread with a cup of tea for a delightful afternoon treat.
