How to store
Store leftover lemon bread in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for about a week. You can also store it tightly wrapped in aluminum foil if it's unfrosted.
How to freeze
You can store loaf cake in the freezer with or without the frosting. It's best to store any frosted leftovers in an airtight container with a lid. For an unfrosted loaf, you can either wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then store in a resealable ziptop bag or in a resealable container.
Frozen lemon bread lasts for up to 2 months. Before you serve it, thaw it overnight in the fridge and bring it back to room temperature.
