Lemon Loaf Cake with Lemon Drizzle Glaze

May 4, 2022 By Elizabeth 17 Comments

This lemon loaf cake is moist, sweet, tangy and delicious. If you like Starbuck’s lemon loaf then you will love this homemade lemon cake.

If you like Starbuck’s lemon loaf then you will love this homemade lemon loaf cake with lemon drizzle. This easy and delicious lemon cake is made in one bowl and takes about 10 minutes to whip up. I think it is delicious with a cup of tea but you could also eat it with coffee or serve for dessert.

Sunday is Mother’s Day and this lemon loaf cake would be a scrumptious addition to your brunch table. You could also make a few loaves and give them in gift baskets for Mother’s Day gifts to all of the moms in your life. All you need to do is bake the lemon loaf cake, add to a basket with your favorite tea and maybe a teacup and saucer and you have a beautiful gift from the heart. If you need another easy addition to your brunch or basket, this coffeecake is so good.

Lemon Loaf with Lemon Glaze

Ingredients for Lemon Loaf

3 eggs, room temperature

1 cup sour cream

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 Tablespoons lemon zest

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup oil

11/2 cups flour

2 Tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Icing Ingredients

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 Tablespoons lemon juice

Directions for Lemon Loaf Cake

Preheat the oven to 350″. Prepare a 9 x 5″ loaf pan with baking spray, line with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, crack and add the eggs, add the sour cream and sugar. Whisk to combine. Zest the lemon and add to the mixing bowl along with the vanilla extract, lemon juice and the oil, mix until combined.

Place a sieve over the bowl and sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool on a white rack.

Directions for the Lemon Glaze

Mix together the powdered sugar and the lemon juice until smooth. Start with 1 tablespoon of the juice, then add more to get the consistency that you like. Pour over the cooled cake and let sit for an hour before serving.

Notes & Tips

You can substitute lemon extract for the vanilla extract

The loaf will stay fresh for 3 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze it. I like to freeze mine without the glaze.

The old saying is that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I say forget that. When life gives you lemons, make margaritas." -Kristin Neff.

blue and white dress long sleeves

I bought this dress recently from H&M and it is so comfortable. You can dress it up or down. I ordered the XS and it is still very roomy. Truth be told I wish there was a little less fabric but I am keeping it because I really like it.

That is it for today friends, I hope that you enjoyed the recipe for Lemon loaf with lemon drizzle glaze. Have a fabulous day!
