Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Bake the lemon loaf: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool and serve: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh lemon juice and zest for vibrant flavor.
  • You can substitute butter with a vegan alternative for a dairy-free version.
  • Check your gluten-free flour blend to ensure it contains xanthan gum or add 1 teaspoon if your blend does not include it to help bind the loaf.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
