Lemon Raspberry Bread

You guys, I’m so looking forward to Spring – I mean in my eyes it’s literally around the corner! In reality it still seems like it’s far away but I am looking forward to the warm weather, and one way I like to do that is bake for the occasion!

Lemon Raspberry Bread - a delicious quick bread perfect for breakfast or snack.

This Lemon Raspberry Bread has fun bursts of both citrus and berry flavors. These two fruits together make seriously the absolute perfect combo ever. And it makes me think of spring which like I said is something to look forward to!

I like to keep my quick breads simple and tasty. This Lemon Raspberry Bread whips up in minutes and is made in one bowl! How great is that? I always love recipes where I don’t have to dirty a million dishes because let’s face it, the dishwasher in my house is this lady right here, no dish washing machine unfortunately!

I’m a little biased with this recipe because I’m addicted to all things lemon. It’s one of those flavors that I cant get enough of. You can see some of my addictions with this creamy and delicious Lemon Blueberry Cream Pie, or maybe these Iced Lemon Sugar Cookies. Oh and how can I forget this Lemon Poppyseed Cake!

Lemon Raspberry Bread - a delicious quick bread perfect for breakfast or snack.

Lemon just pairs with pretty much anything, but this Lemon Raspberry Bread has to be one of my all time favorite pairings thus far. With the tart but sweet lemon glaze dripping over the top, this bread couldn’t get much better! The glaze really does it, but I love glaze on all my sweet breads.

If you’re gearing up for Spring and you’re wanting something to get you excited and in the mood and over these winter blues, this Lemon Raspberry Bread is just what you need to perk you up. The perfect pairing between sweet and tart with a burst of flavor in each bite!

  1. This is the best recipe, everyone loves it!
    I have also added 3/4 cup white chocolate morales, which turned out perfectly 🥰.

  2. Oh My Gosh!! Fresh lemon, fresh raspberries..simple, easy,fast! I make small loaves to give out to friends ,so I don’t eat it all! I did cut sugar in half, threw in a splash or 2 of vanilla…& 1 small loaf I added fresh basil. Weird right? But yum yum yum ! Thanks

  3. I’ve made this a couple of times now and love it every time! I often use frozen raspberries that I allow to thaw, and then I use the raspberry juice to make the glaze instead of lemon juice. It ends up being pepto bismol pink but it’s sooooooo delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!!

  4. Straightforward! Easy for me … flowed together like a good yoga session!!!
    Thank You, Kristin, and Yellow Brick Crew!
    I worried when mixing that my batter was too thin/runny— but it baked up fine. Finger lick of batter tasted flat – so I added a very scant 1/4 tsp of salt (“pinch”).
    I got my glaze way too thin … ran all over … I must monitor my lemon juice / p.sugar ratio better next time!
    Thanks again, Kristin!

  5. Hi. The recipe looks delicious. I have no lemons, but I have fresh oranges. Could one substitute an orange for a lemon? At Thanksgiving I’ve made fresh cranberry sauce with orange & raspberry and it’s quite good. Wondering if it would work here.

    1. Yes you could swap the lemon for orange. Keep in mind that an orange is sweeter, so especially for the frosting you may not need as much sugar.

  6. Hey, thinking about making this cake! Do you/anyone know how many calories for 1 piec or a 100 grams? Thank you!

    1. I added nutritional content to the recipe, but please note that this is for informational purposes only. If you want more something more precise please check out the many nutritional calculators online.

  7. This recipe is wonderful! I didn’t have a lemon (quarantine baking), so I subbed lemon juice.
    I made 2 loaves, one for now, one for the freezer!

    So glad I found this recipe!

  8. Excellent recipe! I changed the glaze to raspberry garnished with lemon zest. Highly recommend this recipe. Thank you!

    1. Yes you can freeze the bread. Skip the glaze and wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap then foil and then in a freezer bag. It should stay fresh at least 2 months.

  9. This had a great flavor but looked really flat in my 9X5 pan. Next time I am going to use my 8X4 and see if that helps.

    1. I would thaw them first and then let them drain a bit – you don’t want to introduce more liquid.

  10. My 2 year old is in LOVE with this lemon raspberry bread. He asks for more of “that yummy bread” almost every morning!
