Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1 medium sized lemon zested (just the lemon zest)
1 medium sized lemon juiced (just the lemon juice)
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare a 1.5L loaf pan (8 by 4.5 inches) by lining it with wax paper. Set aside.
  • With a mixer cream together the butter and sugar.
  • Add in the eggs, 1 at a time.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add 1/2 of the flour mix to the butter mix.
  • Then add 1/2 of the milk.
  • Add the remaining flour mix.
  • Mix in the remaining milk and lemon zest.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • In the mean time, combine the juice from 1 lemon with 1/4 cup sugar.
  • When the cake is done baking, take it out of the oven, and pierce holes in it with a knife - make sure to get to the bottom of the loaf so the lemon juice mixture can get right down into the cake. Pour lemon juice/sugar mix over warm cake.
  • Let sit. This cake is even better the next day.
  • Enjoy!

LEMONY LEMON LOAF



Lemony Lemon Loaf image

This sunny, lightly colored, yellow-blond cake includes both lemon zest and lemon juice for bright flavor, plus cream cheese, buttermilk, and sour cream for richness. Due to the sugaring of the pan, the two end slices--often disfavored--will be the sweetest!

Time 2h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ tablespoons white sugar
2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons baking soda, or more as needed
2 teaspoons water, or as needed
1 lemon
2 lemons, juiced, or as needed
⅔ cup white sugar
¼ cup mild olive oil
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 jumbo eggs
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup buttermilk, shaken

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch nonstick loaf pan and "flour" the pan with 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, tilting so each surface of the pan is dusted with sugar. Discard any excess sugar.
  • Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a mixing bowl; set aside.
  • Place baking soda in the palm of your hand and wet with water to form a paste. Rub paste vigorously all over 1 lemon. Rinse lemon thoroughly, zest it, and place zest in a large bowl. Juice the lemon into a liquid measuring cup and add enough juice from remaining 2 lemons to measure 1/3 cup; add to lemon zest.
  • Add sugar, olive oil, and cream cheese to the lemon mixture. Mix thoroughly with an electric mixer until most of the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in eggs, applesauce, sour cream, and buttermilk until well combined. Whisk in 1/2 of the reserved flour mixture until incorporated. Whisk in remaining flour mixture until just combined. Immediately pour and scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place loaf pan, uncovered, on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 42 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool for 30 minutes before serving, or cool completely to room temperature before wrapping and refrigerating.

LEMON LEMON LOAF



Lemon Lemon Loaf image

Sometimes simplicity speaks volumes. Our lemon loaf recipe is very straightforward. We do not add poppy seeds, pecans, or any other extraneous ingredient. We really feel that the most important aspect of a lemon loaf is the zingy lemon flavor, and we accentuate it by using a combination of freshly squeezed lemon juice, freshly grated lemon zest, and a mildly sweet lemon syrup. The sour cream gives this loaf a subtle tang and a dense, moist crumb that cannot be achieved with yogurt. If you want to increase the lemony goodness of these cakes, add the simple glaze after the syrup has set and the cakes are cool. This loaf freezes extremely well, so you can double the recipe and make a few extra loaves.

Yield 2 (9-by-5-by-3-inch) Loaves

Number Of Ingredients 19

FOR THE LEMON CAKE
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
8 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup grated lemon zest (from about 4 lemons)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
FOR THE LEMON SYRUP
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
FOR THE LEMON GLAZE (OPTIONAL)
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted, or more if needed
4 to 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • MAKE THE LEMON CAKES
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the sides and bottom of two 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper.
  • Sift both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Put the sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until combined. With the motor running, drizzle the butter in through the feed tube. Add the sour cream and vanilla and pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle the flour mixture, one third at a time, folding gently after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, rotate the pans, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F., and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes.
  • MEANWHILE, MAKE THE LEMON SYRUP
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, continue to cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and invert the loaves onto the pan. Use a toothpick to poke holes in the tops and sides of the loaves.
  • Brush the tops and sides of the loaves with the lemon syrup. Let the syrup soak into the cake and brush again. Let the cakes cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • (The soaked but unglazed loaves will keep, wrapped in two layers of plastic wrap and frozen, for up to 6 weeks.)
  • IF YOU LIKE, MAKE THE LEMON GLAZE
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 4 tablespoons of the lemon juice. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If the mixture is too stiff, add up to another 2 tablespoons lemon juice and whisk again, adding small amounts of lemon juice and/or confectioners' sugar until you get the right consistency. Pour the lemon glaze over the top of each loaf and let it drip down the sides. Let the lemon glaze harden, about 15 minutes, before serving.
  • The glazed loaves will keep for up to 3 days, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, at room temperature.
