Imagine a slice of heaven that’s tangy, sweet and irresistibly moist. That’s what you get with Glazed Lemon Loaf, a delightful treat that brings the essence of lemon groves straight to your table. A celebration of simplicity and flavour, this loaf combines the classic zest of fresh lemons with the tender crumb of a perfectly baked cake.

- Fresh lemon – Peel and juice for bright lemon flavour.
- Lemon extract – Enhances the lemony flavour.
- Vanilla extract – Adds depth of flavour.
- Sugar – Sweets the loaf.
- Eggs – Binding the ingredients together.
- Salt – To balance the sweetness.
Ingredients for the glaze:
- Powdered sugar – For a smooth glaze.
- Lemon juice – To thin the glaze and add flavour.
Method:
Preheat the oven and grease a loaf tin.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, yoghurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon extract and vanilla until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet. Fold in the melted butter and oil.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
For the glaze, whisk together the icing sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
When the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
