  6. Once cooked, remove the lemon loaf from the tin and set aside on a wire rack to cool.
  7. In the meantime make up the glaze by mixing together the icing sugar and lemon juice.
  8. When the loaf has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  9. Cut into 12 slices.

Notes

This lemon loaf will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

The slices can also be frozen. Defrost at room temperature in a couple of hours.
