  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  5. Mix in the lemon juice. Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
  10. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

If you want, I can also make a quicker “5-minute prep” version inspired by Starbucks’ lemon loaf, perfect for fast baking. Do you want me to do that?
