Lemon Loaf


This morning when I checked in on FB I discovered 
Diania had shared David Larson's Lemon Loaf. 

Since my banana bread was down to it's last piece 
I gave it a try.
I needed something for a treat for after my 


This is a Top Secret recipe version of 
Starbucks Lemon loaf, David wrote.
I could know because I never go there but I 
will share the recipe with you here.

Starbucks Lemon Loaf

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup(s) FLOUR
1/2 teaspoon(s) BAKING SODA
1/2 teaspoon(s) BAKING POWDER
1/2 teaspoon(s) SALT
3 EGGS
1 cup(s) SUGAR
2 tablespoon(s) BUTTER; Softened.
1 teaspoon(s) VANILLA
1 teaspoon(s) LEMON EXTRACT
1/3 cup(s) LEMON JUICE
1/2 cup(s) OIL (recommend coconut oil)

LEMON ICING
1 cup(s) POWDERED SUGAR; Plus 1 Tablespoon.
2 tablespoon(s) WHOLE MILK; I Used 2%.
1/2 teaspoon(s) LEMON EXTRACT

Instructions:
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Use a mixer to blend together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
Pour wet ingredient into the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
Add oil and mix well.
Pour batter into a well greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into center of the cake comes out clean.
Make the lemon icing by combining all the icing ingredients in a small bowl with an electric mixer on low speed.
When the loaf is cool, remove it from pan and frost the top with the icing.
Let the icing set up before slicing....'

I mixed it in a little different way, 
didn't have all the ingredients either 
and use a bigger pan, hence the different shape, 
but it turned out very tasty.

  1. It looks like you have "lemon bars." I like the shape better than a loaf - more wonderful frosting per square inch. I used to be an ONLY chocolate person, but as I'm getting older, I'm trending more toward fruit now. Lemon especially. Yours looks delicious! :)

  2. In that form it turned out better to serve as coffee cakes. I made the frosting with carnation milk. It's more creamy.
