- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
PREP OVEN AND LOAF PAN:
- Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a 9x5-inch or 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
MAKE BATTER:
- Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed and light and fluffy.
- Then add the eggs, lemon zest, and juice while continuing to beat the sugar and butter together.

- Once mixed, gradually add in the milk until smooth and there are no clumps in the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
BAKE AND COOL:
- Bake until golden brown, and you can insert a toothpick in the center, and it comes out clean; about 40-45 minutes.

MAKE GLAZE:
- In a small-medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until runny and smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the lemon bread.
