To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, all-purpose flour, and active dry yeast. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
Next, add in the warm water, melted butter, eggs, milk, and sugar. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix on low speed for 2-3 minutes until a soft dough forms.
Then, stir in the raisins and chopped almonds. These add a lovely texture and flavor to the Easter bread.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Then, place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to the greased loaf pan. Use your hands to shape the dough into a smooth loaf.
Bake the Easter bread for 30-35 minutes or until it turns golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk. Whisk until you have a smooth glaze.
Once the Easter bread has cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze on top and let it set for a few minutes before serving. This bread is best enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee and makes for a perfect addition to your Easter brunch or dinner.
This Easter bread recipe with lemon cake mix is a fun and delicious twist on the traditional Easter bread. The tangy lemon flavor combined with the sweetness of the glaze and the texture of the raisins and almonds make for a winning combination. Give this recipe a try and impress your family and friends this Easter!
