 is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food and today I'm sharing a simple and delicious recipe for buttermilk lemon bread. So let me show you what you're going to need. You are going to need salt and baking powder, granulated sugar, buttermilk, unsalted butter, cake flour. If you want to use all-purpose flour that is totally fine, you're going to need some eggs and also some lemon and then we're going to finish off this cake with a simple powdered sugar glaze. So let's get started. So the first thing that we're going to do is start off by making our lemon sugar. So the recipe calls for the zest of one lemon. Now the lemon that I have is really big so I'm going to use half of the lemon and I started peeling it already but all you're going to do is take a vegetable peeler and just gently run it over the lemon. Careful not to get the white part. You don't want that pith because it's very bitter. You just want to get that yellow part of the lemon and again I'm just going to take off half of this. Okay so I've removed the lemon peel and now I'm just pouring in my granulated sugar and I am just going to process this in my food processor until that lemon peel and sugar are well incorporated. So now I'm going to cream my butter which by the way is softened and at room temperature. Cream my butter and then my lemon sugar together. Now if you have a stand mixer that's fine but I'm just going to be using a hand mixer with mine and this is what the lemon sugar looks like and it smells so good. I'm just going to pour that in and I'm just going to mix this for about five minutes. Now I'm going to incorporate my eggs one at a time. So I'm just going to add an egg, beat it with the mixer, add another egg, etc. So I have whisked together all of my dry ingredients so now I'm going to alternate adding my dry ingredients with my buttermilk. Just a little at a time. Okay so my batter is all mixed up. Next you're going to take a 9x5 pan and I lightly greased it with butter and then I cut some parchment paper and put it as you can see just right across because when this bread is done I want to be able to lift out the bread very easily. So I'm going to spread my batter evenly into the pan and by the way I've got my oven preheated to 350 degrees and as always I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box. But again you're just going to put your batter in there and make sure it's nice and smooth. Alright so I am going to pop this in the oven for about 50 to 55 minutes or until it's done. Keep an eye on it because everyone's oven is different and you don't want this to get over done. Okay so I just took the cake out of the oven and I ended up baking it for 45 minutes. I let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then I took it out with the parchment paper and as you can see I have it sitting on this cooling rack. I am going to let it cool completely and then I am going to show you how I make that lemon icing. Okay so my cake has cooled completely and now it's time to make the lemon icing. So in my bowl I have some powdered sugar and then I just have some fresh squeezed lemon juice and I'm gonna add just a little bit of lemon juice at a time. You don't want to overdo it because once you've added too much lemon juice it's just too late. So I'm just gonna add a little bit at a time until I get the consistency that I am looking for. Okay I got the texture that I'm looking for so now all I'm gonna do is just drizzle this icing on top of the cake. Okay so here is the cake and after I iced the cake I let the icing harden for about half an hour and so I cut a slice so you all could see it. So here it is on the plate and it is a really tender moist cake and it is so good. I hope you all enjoyed this video.
