Healthy Lemon Loaf Cake
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 2/3 cups Olive Oil
- 1-1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 whole Large Eggs, Lightly Beaten
- 2/3 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cups Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
- 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Extract
- 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup Confectioners Sugar (Sifted)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (or Maybe 3)
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, granulated sugar, lightly beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture while whisking together until well combined.
- Add lemon cake batter to a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted in the center and comes out clean (mine baked in about 52 minutes).
- Remove pan from oven and set it on a rack. Let bread cool for 10 minutes then remove it from the loaf pan to a rack to finish cooling.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, whisk together confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a medium sized bowl and pour it over the cake. Let the icing set and then enjoy!
