⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix eggs, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice until blended.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients carefully until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
