Let’s squeeze the most out of life, one slice at a time!

I have tried many different ways to bake this lemon bread and this recipe is my favorite way to get a very moist and soft bread/cake. You could bake this bread any time of the year but if you are like me, who has their own favorite recipes to bake depending on the season, I would say the best season to enjoy this cake would definitely be spring.

Ingredients:

About a tablespoon of lemon zest
3 eggs
200 grams sugar
100 grams butter
About 50ml of lemon juice (more or less according to your preference)
220 grams flour
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Vanilla extract or vanilla sugar (optional)

Instructions:

1.Preheat oven and prepare pan:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a pan of your choice or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix wet ingredients and dry ingredients

- Mix lemon zest and sugar first with your hands rubbing them together.
- Add eggs and mix vigorously to crerate a creamy texture.
- Add butter and mix properly .
- Then, add yogurt and lemon juice and mix. Add vanilla extract as well.

3. Mix the dry ingredients

- Mix flour, baking soda and baking powder in a separate bowl.

4. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together

- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients little at a time to avoid any lumps of flour.

5. Pour into the pan and bake

- Pour the mix into your pan of choice.
- Bake your lemon bread/ lemon cake for 45 minutes. This might vary depending on the shape and size of your baking pan, so keep an eye on your lemon bread. You can use a knife to check if your bread is ready starting from 40 minutes of baking time.

6. Topping of choice

- Topping of any kind can be used for this lemon bread. For example, a frosting of whipped cream would also be very good. I prefer having my lemon cake light, so I don’t use any cream on top.
- I make a glaze using icing sugar, milk and vanilla extract. I spread it all over the cake. And before serving, i like to spinkle a little icing sugar.

Variations:

Sometimes, depending on the seasons, I like to add pieces of fresh fruits to my lemon bread loaf! This helps me avoid too much of cream or sugar that is used for the drizzle.
