Starbucks Lemon Loaf Cake

par
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt.
    3. In a separate bowl,l beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy – this will take at least 3 minutes.
    4. Mix in the eggs 1 at a time. Then mix in the vanilla extract, optional lemon extract, lemon zest, and  lemon juice.
    5. With the mixer on low speed, mix in about 1/2 of the  flour mixture, followed by about 1/2 of the buttermilk. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
    6. Repeat the process with the rest of the flour mixture and buttermilk.
    7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. It will be done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean and the top feels firm to the touch. If, after about 30-40 minutes, the top is browning too much, tent a piece of aluminium foil over the top and continue baking.
    8. Cool the loaf fully before icing (otherwise, the icing will melt through the cake and run off the sides).

    9. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and cream/milk until smooth. Add in a little more powdered sugar or cream as needed.
  2. Remove the cooled loaf from the pan and drizzle or pour over the top.
