Lemon, lemon, lemon loaf
I made some lemon loaf to bring in to work tomorrow, so I decided to share the recipe. :D Imperial measurements, sorry.
If you've had the lemon loaf at Starbucks... this one is soooort of like that, except that it's a million times better. It's a lemon loaf that would make the SBux loaf weep and feel inadequate in comparison.
And as a bonus, it's super easy to make...!
Lemon Loaf
*Makes 1 loaf in a standard-sized loaf pan
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tb lemon zest
2 tb lemon extract
1 + 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Mix eggs, sugar, oil, and lemon extract, beating after every addition. If you do not have lemon zest, increase lemon extract amount to 2.5 tb instead of 2.
Add flour, baking powder, and salt, beating after every addition.
Add sour cream.
Grease loaf pan thoroughly before pouring. Lining bottom with wax paper in addition to greasing is recommended (yes, it really is that sticky).
Bake at 350F for 55 minutes or until it tests with fork as finished.
You can add a lemon glaze after it cools, or maybe a poppyseed glaze. But it's also really good plain, too. And it stays moist and fresh for a really long time. :) It also freezes well.
