Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted ((more if needed to reach the right consistency))
1 tablespoon lemon juice ((more if needed to reach the right consistency))
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an (8x4 inch or 9x5 inch) loaf pan with cooking spray
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with an electric mixer), beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and pale, about 4-6 minutes. With a spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low-speed, add the eggs one at a time, add the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. With the mixer on low, add the flour and buttermilk alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Put the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
  • Prepare the lemon syrup by combining together the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Remove the lemon loaf from the pan and set it on a rack. Brush the syrup over the loaf while warm.
  • Make the icing by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and milk. Add additional juice, if needed. The icing should be thick.
  • When the loaf is completely cool, pour the icing over the loaf.

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 (8-inch) loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup grated lemon zest (6 to 8 large lemons)
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. You may also line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired.
  • Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the lemon zest.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

CARROT LOAF CAKE WITH TANGY LEMON GLAZE



Carrot Loaf Cake With Tangy Lemon Glaze image

This easy, breezy one-bowl loaf cake makes the perfect afternoon snack - and a perfect breakfast the next day, too. It's lightly spiced and nut- and fruit-free, but feel free to add about 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit, if that's how you like your carrot cake. There is an optional bit of grated carrot in the lemony glaze, which doesn't lend that much flavor, but provides a lovely light orange hue. If grating carrot for the glaze seems fussy, you can certainly skip it.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 (9-by-5-inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup/180 milliliters neutral oil or mild olive oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup/225 grams packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 packed cups peeled and grated carrots (about 6 ounces/165 grams, from 3 medium carrots)
1 lemon
1 cup/100 grams confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated carrot (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Oil a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the two long sides. Oil the paper, too.
  • Add the light brown sugar and eggs to a large bowl and whisk vigorously until pale in color, about 2 minutes. Add the oil, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk, starting slowly to incorporate the flour without spilling it, until well combined and smooth, switching to a rubber spatula if necessary. Fold in the grated carrots. The batter will be very thick.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any big air bubbles.
  • Bake the cake until golden and puffed and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan and set on the rack over a baking sheet to cool completely.
  • When the cake is cool, make the glaze: Finely zest the lemon into a medium bowl. Juice the lemon, and set aside lemon juice. Add the confectioners' sugar and finely grated carrot (if using) to the bowl with the zest, along with 4 teaspoons of the lemon juice. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Add more lemon juice as needed to make a thick but pourable glaze. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for a few minutes before slicing. Store the cake well wrapped at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
