thats great heres how to make lemon loaf
Ingredients
For the loaf:
½ cup softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Whisk dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk the softened butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until creamy.
Add yogurt and lemon. Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest (if using) and whisk until just combined.
Combine wet and dry. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the loaf. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make the glaze. While the loaf cools, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
Glaze and serve. Drizzle the glaze liberally over the cooled loaf before slicing.
