Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Recipe
This moist and tangy lemon loaf is even better than the one at Starbucks!
Equipment
Ingredients
Batter:
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup salted butter melted
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 Tbsp lemon zest
Sweet Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp heavy cream
- pinch of salt
- ⅛ tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 325°.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes or until creamy and pale yellow. Beat in the butter and oil, then the sour cream and lemon zest.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, cream, salt, and zest in a small bowl. Spread on top of the loaf, letting some drip down the sides.
Notes
- If you live at a high altitude, add an additional 2 tablespoons of flour to the batter.
- You can add up to a teaspoon of lemon extract, but I prefer the flavor with just the zest.
- You can make three mini loaves instead, they will just need to bake for 40 minutes.
