Starbucks Copycat Lemon Loaf 🍰😋

Ingredients:

Cake:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lemon zest

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon milk (optional, for thinning)

Directions:

Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Prepare wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Gradually add oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Stir until well combined.

Combine wet and dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until no lumps remain.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk (if needed) until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
