    Recipe Introduction


    By Todd Wilbur

    It would take quite a bit of real lemon juice to give this moist cake loaf clone the perfect lemony tang of the original. Plus, the batter ends up much too thin and the cake that comes out of the oven has a much lighter, less dense, consistency than the coffeehouse original. So, to avoid producing a batter that’s too runny, we must turn to lemon extract that can be found near vanilla extract in your supermarket. This concentrated lemon flavoring works well with real lemon juice to give us the intense lemon flavor we need. Plus this extract adds just the right amount of lemon goodness to the icing without thinning it out.


    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 eggs
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 tablespoons butter, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon lemon extract
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    1/2 cup vegetable oil

    Lemon Icing

    1 cup plus 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
    2 tablespoons whole milk
    1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

    3. Use an electric mixer to blend together eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract, and lemon juice in a medium bowl.

    4. Pour wet ingredient into dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Add oil and mix well.

    5. Pour ingredients into a well-greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into the center of the cake comes out clean.

    6. Make the lemon icing by combining ingredients in a small bowl with electric mixer on low speed. When the lemon loaf is cool, remove it from the pan and frost the top with the lemon icing. When the icing has set up, slice the loaf into eight 1-inch-thick slices.

    Makes 8 slices.
