A bright and sweet lemon bread with a zingy lemon-ginger glaze. This is an easy quick bread recipe bursting with lemon flavor, and it’s better than any coffee shop lemon bread. Make it for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack cake.
If we’re being honest, lemon bread is really just an excuse to eat cake for breakfast. I’m happy to acknowledge this truth, and I recognize that maybe it’s not the sort of breakfast to indulge in every day. But for a weekend or holiday, a homemade lemon quick bread topped with a lemon-ginger glaze is a great way to kick off a special celebratory brunch or breakfast.
The bread itself is straightforward, with simple ingredients plus plenty of fresh lemon zest. But it’s the glaze that gives the bread a flavor punch – it’s a combination of fresh lemon juice with a touch of ginger paste, so it’s zingy and bright.
