How to Make Lemon Almond Tea Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the lemon zest and almond extract.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar over the wet glaze for added texture and sweetness.
