Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₄ cup Apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and grated ginger.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the loaf is baking, prepare the apricot glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and lemon juice over low heat until melted and well combined.
7. Once the loaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the loaf has cooled, drizzle the apricot glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
