OMGosh.... if you like SB's lemon loaf....

Last week, DH and I stopped at a Starbuck's and shared a slice of lemon loaf cake.  Believe it or not, it was the first time I've ever ordered anything besides a beverage at SB, and I wasn't expecting it to be so good.   I became immediately obsessed about finding the recipe.

 

I came across this one and made it yesterday to share with my coworkers.  Today is going to be a difficult one for us, after a shooting tragedy in a neighboring school. I thought a little lemon cheer might be a good thing.

 

I actually think this recipe is slightly better than the one at SB's, but it is very, very similar.

Starbuck's Copy Cat Lemon Loaf

 

In a large bowl, without an electric mixer, whisk together the following ingredients:

 

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbs. lemon zest
  • 1-2 tbs. lemon extract (I used only one)

 

In a separate bowl, whisk the following dry ingredients:

 

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

 

Add the dry ingredients into the wet, using a fork or knife to stir until incorporated. Don't overmix.

 

Pour into a standard size loaf pan that has been buttered and floured.

 

Bake at 350° for approximately 50 minutes.

 

Let cool completely before glazing.

 

Lemon Glaze

 

1 cup confectioner's sugar (I probably used two)

Add fresh lemon juice until it reaches the desired glazing consistency. I used approximately 3 tbs. lemon juice.

 

Here's the website from which it originated.

I didn't even realize Starbucks sold food.  I'm not a coffee drinker, so never go in there.  Thanks for the recipe.  Looks yummy.
