Lemon Loaf

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2
Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Cream sugar and butter in a separate bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla; beat until incorporated.

Step 3
Pour egg mixture into flour mixture; whisk until smooth. Add oil and mix well. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Step 5
While the cake is cooling, mix powdered sugar, milk, lemon zest, and lemon extract in a bowl until smooth. Pour over cooled cake; slice when icing sets.

Recipe Tip

Coconut oil can be used instead of vegetable oil if desired.
