Starbucks Iced Lemon Loaf [0000542]

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

For the Lemon Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.

Stir in the plain Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice until the mixture is well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

While the loaf is baking, prepare the lemon glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Once the lemon loaf is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the loaf out of the pan and onto a wire rack.

While the loaf is still warm, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.

Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving your gluten-free Copycat Starbucks Iced Lemon Loaf.
