Lemon Loaf Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. flour
- 1 1/2 t. baking powder
- zest and juice from 1/2 lemon
- pinch of salt
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1/2 c. buttermilk
- Zest and Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 c. + 3 T. powdered sugar
- 1 T. milk
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Set aside.
- In large bowl of stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Turn speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla and lemon juice. Increase speed to medium and mix until well combined.
- Return mixer to low speed and add 1/3 of the reserved flour mixture, followed by 1/2 of the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Follow with another third of flour, the remaining buttermilk and finish with the remaining flour, beating just until incorporated.
- Pour batter into a loaf pan that has been liberally treated with baking spray and bake in a preheated 350* oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted removes cleanly and cake is golden brown.
- Allow cake to cool in pan for 15 minutes. Meanwhile remove and reserve 1 T. of the lemon juice. Mix the remaining juice with 3 Tablespoons of powdered sugar, forming a syrup. Remove cake to a cooling rack and brush with the syrup while still warm, allowing the syrup to soak into the cake. Leave on rack until completely cooled.
- Whisk together the remaining lemon juice, powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze. Pour this glaze over the cooled loaf cake and garnish with the lemon zest. Allow glaze to set before serving.
