The popular Starbucks’ Iced Lemon Loaf- I’m going to show you how to recreate it from scratch, give it a little face life, and even make you say, “Dang. That’s delicious!”
LEMON LOAF CAKE
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
2 tbsps lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
1/2 cup greek yogurt
LEMON ICING
2 tbsps butter
3 oz cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tbsps milk
Pinch salt
Start by creaming butter and sugar until it’s well combined and then add 2 eggs, one at a time until they’re incorporated.
In another small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. To infuse it with the lemony flavor, I have ½ cup of greek yogurt, vanilla extract, zest of half a lemon, and lemon juice. Mix everything up and now we combine our ingredients.
Start with a little flour, mix and then a little greek yogurt, mix, flour, and yogurt until everything is gone.
With a spatula, give it a final mix until it’s just combined and transfer it onto an 8x4 baking pan, lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes, Let it cool completely for about an hour.
For the cream cheese glaze- In a bowl, we’ll add cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, salt, and slowly add in 1 tbsp of milk at a time, mixing it until you get a nice pourable consistency.
Put the lemon loaf on an icing rack and pour the glaze right over. Let it set in the fridge or at room temp for 15 minutes and enjoy!
However you enjoy it, it’ll 100% be more delicious than Starbucks so give this recipe a try.
