Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tbsp lemon zest (freshly grated)
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
¼ cup powdered sugar (for the glaze)
1 tbsp lemon juice (for the glaze)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
