Lemon Loaf
- 250 g Cake Flour or AP flour (2 cups)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 100 g granulated sugar (½ cup)
- 100 g light brown sugar (½ cup)
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- zest of 1 lemon
- 60 mL vegetable oil (¼ cup)
- 240 mL milk semi-skimmed, whole, or plant based (1 cup)
Strawberry Glaze
- 4-5 medium-sized fresh strawberries + extra for garnishing
- 125 g icing sugar or powdered sugar (1 cup)
Lemon Loaf
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350F). Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
Sift and mix flour, salt, and baking powder into a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.
Place granulated and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add vegetable oil and mix for 1-2 minutes. (You can also use a handheld mixer).
Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and mix well to incorporate.
Add dry ingredients, alternating with milk, in two additions, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer batter into loaf pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Transfer cake to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Make sure the loaf has completely cooled before glazing.
Strawberry Glazing
Wash and hull strawberries. Place in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
Place icing sugar in a medium sized bowl. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry puree, until the desired glazing consistency is reached. For a thicker glaze add more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add more strawberry puree.
Pour glaze over cooled loaf cake and chill until set. Top with extra sliced strawberries or lemon zest as desired, slice and serve.
