Lemon Loaf
Hi everyone! I've got a tasty treat to share with you all today. I'm talking about a mouth-watering Lemon Loaf that will tantalize your taste buds and fill your home with a fresh lemon aroma.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- To make a perfect batter, grab a medium bowl and toss in 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
- No rush! carefully combine the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the larger bowl, making sure to mix everything together gently. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
- Scoop the batter into the ready loaf pan and spread it out evenly. When a toothpick is placed in the center, it should come out dry and clean after 45 to 50 minutes of baking.
- The loaf should cool for ten minutes in the pan before being removed and finished cooling on a wire rack.
