Sweet Black Lemon Bread

This black lemon bread is incredibly soft, moist, and packed with sweet blueberries. With just 10 ingredients, it’s a simple dessert that everyone is making this spring!

Changing Tastes

As the weather warms up, I find myself craving bright, sweet treats with a hint of tartness. Gone are the days of chocolate; now, all I want is anything lemon-flavored. It turns out, I’m not alone in this craving. Among the desserts on Love & Lemons, there’s one that readers can’t stop making this spring: black lemon bread.

Joe shared, “I’ve made this so many times… Everyone who tries it loves it!” Lisa chimed in, saying, “This cake makes me excited for spring, I’ll definitely be making it again!” I can already tell that this recipe will be a frequent guest in my kitchen this season.

Why I Love This Black Lemon Bread

Honestly, it’s super easy to make. The recipe requires just 10 simple ingredients, and you can mix the batter in just a few minutes. The oven takes care of the rest!

The bread is bursting with fresh lemon flavor. I use a whole tablespoon of lemon zest in each loaf. Once the bread cools, I drizzle a lemon glaze made with just 2 ingredients and add a bit more zest for an extra zing.

A Treat Beyond Just Dessert

I love enjoying this black lemon bread with a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon. It’s truly irresistible for breakfast too!

Black Lemon Bread Recipe

Want to try this recipe right away? Here are some tips:

• Frozen blueberries: You can use frozen blueberries; I almost always have some in my freezer. Just toss them into the batter without thawing. Keep in mind that you may need to bake the bread a little longer.
• Lemon glaze: If you’re craving something sweet and tangy, don’t skip the glaze on this bread. It adds an amazing burst of lemon flavor!
• Leftover bread: This bread freezes really well. Just wrap it tightly or store it in an airtight container, and it can be frozen for up to 3 months! When it thaws, it will taste delicious at room temperature.

I like to slice the bread before freezing so I can thaw just a piece at a time. If you’re a lemon dessert lover like me, make sure to add this to your must-try list! L&L reader Karen wrote, “I’ve made this 6-8 times. It’s amazing!” I hope it becomes a favorite of yours too.
