Glazed Lemon Bread

Lemon Loaf Bread Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this easy, lemony treat.

Dry Ingredients:

• All Purpose Flour is the base but you can also substitute with a 1:1 Gluten free blend if needed

• Salt brings out the flavors

Wet Ingredients:

• Neutral vegetable oil (like canola or extra virgin olive oil)

How to Make Lemon Loaf Cake with Melted White Chocolate

• Sift the dry ingredients. Sift together into a bowl the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda using a sifter.
• Mix in’s. Add oil, dairy-free milk, lemon juice, lemon extract and zest. Fold together until all the dry ingredients are combined and smooth.
• Prep the loaf pan. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan.
• Bake. For 40 minutes, bake the lemon loaf at 350° Fahrenheit. Then, remove from oven and let sit in pan for another 10-20 minutes.
• Make the icing. Place @enjoylifefoods White Mini Chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir and if its not quite melted through, repeat in 15 second intervals until white chocolate is smooth and pourable.
• Ice the lemon cake. When the cake is done, allow it to rest in the pan for about 10 minutes and then transfer it to a cooling rack. Once cool, drizzle the white chocolate icing over the top. Add extra mini chips and zested lemon peel if desired.
• Serve. Slice the cake and serve!
