INGREDIENTS
FOR CAKE:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup of lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
FOR GLAZE:
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Your oven should be preheated up to a temperature of 350°F (176°C). The pan should be greased and floured for a 9″x5″ loaf pan or three small loaf pans.
- Combine all flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- A mixer should be used to beat together the eggs and sugar in a medium-sized bowl until they are well combined. Blend the wet and dry components together until well combined. Mix in the oil and lemon zest.
- If a toothpick put into the loaf’s center comes out clean, the bread is done baking. In either case, pour the batter into the pans and bake as directed on the package. Allow cooling on a wire rack after removing from the oven.
- To prepare the glaze, simply combine all of the components. Pour over the bread once it has been allowed to cool.
