Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment or butter it well.
Step 2
Zest both lemons on a microplane until you have roughly 2 tablespoons zest.
Step 3
Juice the lemons into a small bowl — you should have about 1/4 cup juice.
Step 4
Whisk flour, sugar, lemon zest, and baking powder together in a large bowl.
Step 5
Whisk eggs, melted butter, and lemon juice together in another bowl.
Step 6
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients; stir until just combined — do not overmix.
Step 7
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter once to release air.
Step 8
Bake for 35–40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
