It’s creamy… it’s sweet… it’s zesty. It’s Glazed Lemon Bread!

Oh boy. This Glazed Lemon Bread is SO GOOD.

The lemon flavor just makes it taste so fresh and exciting.

It also has the perfect amount of sweet, which is when it’s sweet but not too sweet.

Also, let’s face it. The glaze delicately drizzled over the top takes it up a notch. It looks fancy.

Like maybe it was baked to perfection in a quaint, cute little coffee shop.

This bread makes for a great snack or dessert, and also goes nicely in a lunchbox. If we ever get to use those again 😉

And since it’s so fancy looking, you could bake it and wrap it up as a gift!

Prep Time15 minutes minutes
Cook Time1 hour hour
Servings - 8 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Mix in the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, sour cream, and vanilla.

    I will certainly need to double the recipe and make a loaf for us and a loaf for my husband ☺️ He LOVES anything lemon. This looks great – can’t wait to try it.
