3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding the second egg only after the first has been incorporated.
4. Mix in the milk, lemon juice and lemon zest.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour,baking powder and salt. Add into the wet mixture and beat until just combined. Don't overbeat.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out into an even layer.

Hot Buttery Lemon Glaze

1. Combine the ingredients of the glaze in a microwave safe glass measuring cup. Microwave on short intervals on high, stirring between, until the sugar has dissolved into the lemon juice and it's not gritty.
2. Pour slowly over top of the still hot lemon bread in the pan. If the glaze pools, tilt the corner of the pan and pour what's remaining on top back into the measuring cup, then pour on top again. Repeat until only a small amount remains around the edges.
3. Take a knife and run along the edges of the bread in the pan now to loosen it, and to let the remaining glaze drizzle around and down the sides.
4. Let the bread sit in the pan for 20 minutes until cool enough to touch. The glaze will sink into the top of the loaf during this time.
5. Run a knife around the edges of the loaf again to completely detach it and tip to remove from the pan. Place the bread onto a baking rack and cool completely.
