For an extra burst of lemon flavor, try adding a teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter. To ensure a moist loaf, avoid overbaking. Check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time. The glaze can be adjusted to your preference. For a thicker glaze, use less lemon juice. For a thinner glaze, use more. This loaf can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
