Zesty Lemon Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 loaf pans.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Cream together the butter and 2 cups sugar in a separate large bowl; beat in the eggs. Stir in the lemon zest and orange liqueur. Add the buttermilk. Add the flour mixture while whisking gently. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated ovens until a toothpick or small knife inserted in the crown comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Remove from pans and move to a cooling rack.
• Whisk together the lemon juice and 3/4 cup sugar until the sugar dissolves. Gently drizzle the mixture over the hot loaves. Allow the loaves to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Cream sugar and butter in a separate bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla; beat until incorporated.
• Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture; whisk until smooth. Add oil and mix well. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• While the cake is cooling, mix powdered sugar, milk, lemon zest, and lemon extract in a bowl until smooth. Pour over the cooled loaf. Slice up the loaf when the icing sets.

Steps:

• MAIN:.
• Set butter, eggs, and greek yogurt out to reach room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F Grease loaf pan with butter.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Cream butter, then add sugar, lemon zest, and lavender. Beat until light and well combined.
• Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture.
• In another separate bowl, combine the greek yogurt with some of the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
• Pour dry ingredients into butter mixture, then add yogurt.
• Add rest of flour and stir to combine.
• Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for about 55 minutes or so.
• Remove from oven and cool for around 15 minutes and then place on rack to cool.
• ICING:
• Combine together icing sugar, lemon juice until smooth. I like the loaf to be more zesty, hence I used a whole lemon's juice for the icing.
• Drizzle over cooled loaf sprinkle with lavender and let it set.

Steps:

• Weigh out the butter - cut into cubes and soften for about 30 seconds in the microwave
• Weigh out and add the caster sugar, beat together with a wooden spoon or electric mixer
• Weigh out the flour but put to one side. Add the eggs individually, beating fast to add air for a light sponge. If the mixture begins to look lumpy, add in a small portion of the flour, fold in slowly and gently until the mixture is smooth again
• Gradually add the lemon juice, beating the mixture hard to add air for a light texture
• Slowly fold in any remaining flour, ensuring there are no lumps. Spoon the mixture into a pre-greased 2lb loaf tin and Place on the middle shelf of the oven at around 180/200°. Bake for 20 minutes before covering with silver foil and returning for a further 20 minutes or until a sharp knife returns clean
• Leave the cake to cool (still in the tin) and prepare the Drizzle by heating spoonfuls of sugar with lemon juice in a small pan. Start over a low heat and stirring continuously increase the temperature allowing it to bubble and thicken slightly. Taste the mix and add more sugar accordingly if needed. Add the peel if you wish for it to be candied (optional - can also be presented fresh on top of cake) Once the mixture is a runny but slightly stiffer in texture remove from the heat and pour evenly over the top of the cake

Steps:

• Mix together the flour,sugar,baking powder,salt and lemon rind in a large bowl.
• Add in milk, slightly beaten egg and margarine and mix.
• Add 2 or 3 drops of lemon juice and mix.
• Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake in preheated oven at 375 for 30-35 minutes.
• Simmer glaze in saucepan for a few minutes to dissolve sugar.
• While loaf is still warm put on dish and poke some holes on top with toothpick. Pour glaze over loaf and enjoy.

Steps:

• MAKE THE LEMON CAKES
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the sides and bottom of two 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper.
• Sift both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Put the sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until combined. With the motor running, drizzle the butter in through the feed tube. Add the sour cream and vanilla and pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
• Sprinkle the flour mixture, one third at a time, folding gently after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, rotate the pans, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F., and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes.
• MEANWHILE, MAKE THE LEMON SYRUP
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, continue to cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and invert the loaves onto the pan. Use a toothpick to poke holes in the tops and sides of the loaves.
• Brush the tops and sides of the loaves with the lemon syrup. Let the syrup soak into the cake and brush again. Let the cakes cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
• (The soaked but unglazed loaves will keep, wrapped in two layers of plastic wrap and frozen, for up to 6 weeks.)
• IF YOU LIKE, MAKE THE LEMON GLAZE
• In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 4 tablespoons of the lemon juice. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If the mixture is too stiff, add up to another 2 tablespoons lemon juice and whisk again, adding small amounts of lemon juice and/or confectioners' sugar until you get the right consistency. Pour the lemon glaze over the top of each loaf and let it drip down the sides. Let the lemon glaze harden, about 15 minutes, before serving.
• The glazed loaves will keep for up to 3 days, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, at room temperature.
