for the love of all that is lemon.

If you love lemon-flavored things, please. Pay attention.

I found this recipe on (surprise of all surprises) Pinterest! Jared and I love lemon - our wedding cake was even lemon! So when I saw this, I knew I had to try it out!

The part that caught my eye was the fact that it was a copycat recipe for Starbucks Lemon Loaf. I've had their lemon dessert more than once and I just love it. I'm not positive that it is 100% exactly like the Starbucks Lemon Loaf, but it's still pretty tasty!

Here's the website!

And if you don't feel like going there, here's the copied and pasted recipe, courtesy of the above website:

LOAF
1 1/2 cup(s) FLOUR
1/2 teaspoon(s) BAKING SODA
1/2 teaspoon(s) BAKING POWDER
1/2 teaspoon(s) SALT
3 EGGS
1 cup(s) SUGAR
2 tablespoon(s) BUTTER; Softened.
1 teaspoon(s) VANILLA
1 teaspoon(s) LEMON EXTRACT
1/3 cup(s) LEMON JUICE
1/2 cup(s) OIL
 
LEMON ICING
1 cup(s) POWDERED SUGAR; Plus 1 Tablespoon.
2 tablespoon(s) WHOLE MILK; I Used 2%.
1/2 teaspoon(s) LEMON EXTRACT
_____
 

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Use a mixer to blend together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
Pour wet ingredient into the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
Add oil and mix well.
Pour batter into a well greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into center of the cake comes out clean.
Make the lemon icing by combining all the icing ingredients in a small bowl with an electric mixer on low speed.
When the loaf is cool, remove it from pan and frost the top with the icing.
Let the icing set up before slicing




See how I set up a nice picnic for us on this toasty 28 degree evening? Kidding kidding - this is from the website, too! :)
