Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
