Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole Milk (or Buttermilk)
- 1/2 cup Neutral Oil or Melted Butter
- Zest of 2 Fresh Lemons
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Raspberries
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (for the glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (for the glaze)
- Milk or Water (as needed for glaze consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk (or buttermilk), neutral oil or melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, leaving a few streaks of flour.
- Gently fold in the fresh or frozen raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap it gently on the counter to settle the batter. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a skewer.
- Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the loaf cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth, adjusting with milk or water if necessary. Once the loaf is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
