Here's everything you need for this tangy, fluffy Greek yogurt lemon loaf. This recipe requires two hours and makes one loaf.
Ingredients to Gather
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain greek yogurt (full fat or 2%)
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 lemons, zested
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
lemon icing1 lemon, zested
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions to Follow
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan generously.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and the sugar until combined. Whisk in the eggs, lemon zest and vanilla extract.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until full combined. Use a spatula to fold the coconut oil into the batter, folding and stirring until the oil is incorporated completely. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it gently and set it on a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cool, pour the icing over top. Let the icing set for 20 minutes, then slice and serve!
Whisk the zest, powdered sugar and juice together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour it over the cake once cooled.
Wow! Doesn't this Greek yogurt lemon loaf sound delicious? We adore it for dessert, but we also like to keep a loaf made for a quick and healthy snack during the day that's a much better alternative to grabbing a candy bar. Yum!
