STARBUCKS LEMON LOAF ( COPYCAT)

This is the fourth time  I've made this for a gift. First one was to a lady at the library who shares my birthday. The second was to Mey's husband Richard who loved it. Third to Christina for her birthday and this another loaf is for Barbara, who had foot surgery.


Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 Cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons butter, softened
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Teaspoon lemon extract
1/3 Cup lemon juice
1/2 Cup vegetable oil

LEMON ICING:
1 Cup plus 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons whole milk
1/2 Teaspoon lemon extract.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cake
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Blend together eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract, and lemon juice in a bowl with mixer. Pour wet ingredient into dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Add oil and mix well. Pour ingredients into a well-greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes or cake tests done.

LEMON ICING:
Combine ingredients in bowl and mix with electric mixer on low speed.
When cake is cool, remove from pan and top with the lemon icing. Let icing has set up, before slicing loaf into eight 1-inch-thick slices.
