These Amazing Lemon Brownies are a delightful twist on the classic brownie, infusing bright lemon zest and juice into a buttery, sweet cake that’s perfectly glazed with a tangy lemon icing.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Whisk the butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth, ensuring the mixture is well blended to create a light base.
  2. Add lemon and eggs: Incorporate eggs, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest into the creamy mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine all the ingredients evenly, infusing the batter with citrus flavor.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth without any lumps, ready for baking.
  4. Bake the brownies: Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, pour and evenly distribute the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Make the glaze: While the brownies are still hot, mix powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice and lemon zest in a bowl. Adjust by adding a little more lemon juice if a thinner consistency is desired.
  6. Apply the glaze: Pour the lemon glaze evenly over the warm brownies, allowing it to soak in. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into pieces and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened for easier blending with sugar.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best citrus flavor.
  • Check the brownies at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking; they should be golden but moist inside.
  • Let the glaze set completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
