Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened or a dairy-free substitute
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups milk or your choice of dairy-free milk
  • 2 pieces lemons, zest
  • 1/3 cups fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before adding your favorite glaze.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for optimal flavor, ensure ingredients are at room temperature, and avoid overmixing for a tender loaf.
