Ingredients
For the lemon loaf:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons butter , softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
For the lemon icing:
  • 1 cup plus 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

  3. In a separate bowl (or the base of a stand mixer), beat the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, lemon extract and lemon juice until thoroughly combined.

  4. Add the dry ingredients, a little at a time, to the egg mixture; beat till smooth. Add oil and mix well. Pour batter into a well-greased 8½" x 4½" loaf pan.

  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick (stuck in the middle of the loaf) comes out clean. Remove loaf from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Remove loaf from pan when cooled.
  6. While loaf is cooling, make the icing: Combine icing ingredients in a small bowl. Mix on low with an electric mixer or whisk till all the lumps have disappeared. When the lemon loaf has cooled, frost the top of the loaf with the icing. Wait for the icing to "set up", then slice into 8 - 1 inch slices. Enjoy!

  1. I have a question. The lemon loaf looks luscious. Did you add food coloring. Looking at the ingredients, I wonder if it will come out so bright.
