Instructions
Starbucks CopyCat Lemon Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Lining with parchment paper makes it super easy to get out of loaf pan. Spray with non stick spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, sour cream/yogurt and oil and quickly whisk together until smooth and combined.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon extract, and whisk together well.
- Add dry ingredients and whisk or stir until just combined and do not over-mix. Very little lumps are ok.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 52-57 minutes.
- The last 10 minutes of baking, tent pan with foil by loosely draping a sheet of foil over bread to prevent excessive browning on the top and sides of bread before center cooks through.
- Allow loaf to cool in pan on top of a baking wire rack for at least 30 minutes before before glazing.
- For the glaze, in a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and combined.
- Drizzle glaze over bread before slicing and serving.
Notes
This lemon bread can be frozen up to 6 months. It's best to glaze the bread after it’s been frozen and thawed for best results.
Sugar-free Options available in recipe and it tastes awesome!!!
