Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf Cake Recipe - Sunday Baking

Lemon Mini-Loaf Cakes with Icing by Beautiful Eats and Things.

I baked these in a nine mini-loaf pan, at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Alyzabeth did all the work, followed the recipe and I did a little coaching. They are delicious!

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar, 3 large eggs

1 cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon zest; 1 and ½ tablespoons lemon extract

½ cup vegetable oil

1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour; 2 and ¼ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Lemon Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon extract, and oil until smooth and combined.

3. Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and stir until just combined; be sure not over mix. Over-mixing can result in a tough cake. Some lumps will be present in the batter, but don’t try to stir them smooth.

4. Pour the batter the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter. To help prevent excessive browning, loosely drape a piece of foil over the cake in the last 10 minutes of baking.

5. Allow loaf cake on a wire rack for at least 20-30 minutes before drizzling it with the lemon glaze.

To Make the Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and combined. If needed more lemon juice or powdered sugar until the desired consistency is reached. Evenly drizzle glaze over bread before slicing and serving.

I have a good lemon cupcake recipe, I call "Triple Lemon" which also includes buttermilk. This recipe has the Greek yogurt, so both have a moist, tangy flavor.

We took two to neighbor Joe and to Ms. Penny. Hope they like them!
