Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x4-inch loaf pan loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 ½ cups flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, milk, butter and lemon zest and juice with a hand mixer until combined.
- Transfer the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and mix until no streaks remain.
