Lemon Raspberry Bread
Quick to make, my Lemon Raspberry Bread is great for dessert, breakfast, or snacks. It's loaded with raspberries and drenched in lemon glaze.
Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
For the bread:
- 6 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- Grated rind (zest) of 1 lemon
- ¾ cup fresh raspberries
For the glaze:
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup sugar
For serving:
- 1 teaspoon confectioner's (powdered) sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup of sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
- Stir in the lemon rind and raspberries.
- Turn the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- While the cake bakes, stir together the 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice. Stir the mixture occasionally while the cake is baking. The sugar will melt into the juice as it sits.
- Remove the bread from the oven and immediately pierce it all over with a skewer or toothpick. Spoon the lemon glaze evenly over the cake.
- Cool it in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Turn out onto a rack and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or well-wrapped in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of foil. It will keep for about 3 months in the freezer. Thaw it at room temperature before serving.
