Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Lemon Loaf:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Lemon Glaze:

 

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream butter & sugar: In a separate bowl, rub lemon zest into sugar to release oils, then beat with butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in eggs, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool & glaze: Let loaf cool completely. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the glaze, then drizzle over the loaf.
  8. Slice & enjoy!

 

Notes

  • Extra lemony? Add an extra teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • Make it dairy-free: Swap butter for coconut oil and use dairy-free yogurt.

 

  • Storage: Store at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
