A moist and tangy lemon loaf topped with a sweet lemon glaze.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in lemon juice and zest.
  4. Alternately add the flour mixture and yogurt to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
