This Lemon Pound Loaf- O M G. This may be my favorite baked good I’ve made this year and that’s saying something… It’s a pound cake style loaf but still light & soft. It will knock your socks off and if you’re wanting to go a different route instead of delivering Christmas cookies to your neighbors this year, this recipe is IT!
What You’ll Need:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
8oz greek yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
lemon juice
powdered sugar
The How To:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease/ flour your loaf pan
- In a bowl, mix eggs, sugar and greek yogurt with a whisk
- Add oil and continue to whisk
- Add remaining ingredients and mix to combine
- Transfer mixture to the loaf pan and bake for approximately 50 mins
- While baking, mix powered sugar and lemon juice to make the lemon glaze. Start with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in 1/3 cup powdered sugar. Add more liquid for a thinner glaze and add more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze
- Once the loaf is done baking, let it cool for 30 minutes prior to removing from the pan
- Once completely cool, pour glaze over loaf and serve
- Enjoy!
Cheers,
