Tips:

Use high-quality citrus fruits. The flavor of the loaf will be greatly impacted by the quality of the citrus fruits you use. Choose fruits that are ripe, juicy, and have a strong flavor.
Zest the citrus fruits before juicing them. The zest of the citrus fruits contains a lot of flavor, so it's important to zest them before juicing. This will help to ensure that your loaf has a strong citrus flavor.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the loaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the loaf is cooked through.
Let the loaf cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

This glazed citrus loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The loaf is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy glaze. It's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
