Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180c fan. If you are using a metal loaf tin, line it with parchment paper. If you are using a silicone one there is no need.
Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, melted butter, yogurt and eggs to a large bowl.
Add the zest and juice of the lemons too but hold back 2 tsp of the lemon juice for the icing glaze.
Mix the ingredients until well combined and transfer the mixture into the loaf tin.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the lemon loaf from the tin and set aside on a wire rack to cool.
In the meantime make up the glaze by mixing together the icing sugar and lemon juice.
When the loaf has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Cut into 12 slices.

Notes

This lemon loaf will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

The slices can also be frozen. Defrost at room temperature in a couple of hours.
