Ingredients

Lemon Loaf:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 eggs, at room temperature
⅓ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup vegetable oil

Icing:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon lemon extract

Directions

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 egg mixture into 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 cooled cake; slice when icing sets.

Cook's Note:

Coconut oil may be substituted for vegetable oil, if desired.
