There’s something magical about a loaf that’s equal parts tangy, sweet, and buttery. This Lemon Drizzle Loaf has been a bakery favorite — moist, zesty, and finished with a glossy sugar glaze that cracks just right when you slice into it. Whether you’re enjoying it with your morning coffee or as an afternoon pick-me-up, it’s the kind of treat that disappears fast (trust us).
