Nothing makes me happier than a citrus-y dessert — key lime pie, lemon tarts, YUMMMMMMM. So when I came across the recipe for strawberry lemon loaf cake, I knew I had to make it. Easy, delicious, summer in a cake, yes please.
Ingredients:
For the loaf:
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cupvegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:
- First, heat oven to 350 degrees. And spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
I loved this loaf so much that I plan on making it again this week. It is not too sweet or dense, rather it is light and tasty.
