Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or by buttering and flouring it.

In a medium bowl, weigh and add 2.5 cups (300 grams) of all-purpose flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour and whisk together.

In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add 1 cup (226 grams) of softened butter and mix on medium-high for about 3 minutes until fluffy and light in color.

Scrape down the bowl to ensure even mixing.

Gradually add 1.25 cups (250 grams) of granulated sugar to the butter while mixing on medium speed for about 2 minutes until fluffy.

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the mixture and mix on medium speed to incorporate.

Juice one lemon to get about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, straining out any seeds.

Add the lemon juice to the mixture and mix to combine.

Crack 4 large eggs into a separate bowl one at a time, checking for shells, then add them to the mixture, mixing well after each addition.
