Best Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf

Have extra lemons in your pantry? With minimal prep time, you can be on your way to making the Best Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf. This tender dessert loaf is bursting with a sweet and tart lemon flavor that is sure to please. Top it off with bright lemon icing for a beautiful presentation and added flavor.

First, make lemon sugar. Rub the sugar and lemon zest between your fingers to extract the most flavor from the lemon. Then add in the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the melted butter, oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract and mix to combine. In a medium bowl, sift the dry ingredients together. Add in two additions to the wet ingredients. Stop mixing when the batter is just combined. Transfer the batter to a parchment-lined loaf pan. For a lovely straight split across the center of the loaf, run an offset spatula lengthwise down the center of the batter before baking. Bake until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. While the loaf cools, make the lemon icing. Pour the icing over the loaf and let it set before slicing. Enjoy!

To make the Best Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Best Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf

1	Heat oven and prepare loaf pan
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2	Make lemon sugar	1
To a large bowl, add 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon zest and rub them together between your fingers to extract the most flavor from the lemon.
3	Add eggs	2
Add in 2 large eggs and whisk to combine.
4	Add wet ingredients	2
Add ¼ cup melted butter, ¼ cup sunflower oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ⅓ cup sour cream, and ⅓ cup milk and whisk to combine well.
5	Sift dry ingredients	2
In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
6	Combine dry and wet ingredients	2
Add half of the sifted flour mix to the wet ingredients and mix until almost incorporated. Then mix in the remaining flour until evenly combined. Do not overmix.
7	Transfer to loaf pan	1
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. For a straight split across the center of the loaf, use an offset spatula to make a shallow cut lengthwise down the center of the batter before baking.
8	Bake	45
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. In the last 10 minutes, tent the pan with foil to prevent the top from over-browning.
9	Cool
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Turn the loaf out of the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before topping with the lemon icing.
10	Make lemon icing	2
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup icing sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon milk, and a pinch of salt and whisk until smooth. The icing should be thick and opaque white but still flowing.
11	Cover with icing
Pour the icing over the cooled loaf, spreading it out to drip over the edges. Let the icing set.
12	Serve
Slice and serve!
