Starbucks' Lemon Loaf Poundcake

If you have ever had the Starburcks' Lemon Loaf Poundcake - then you definitely want to try this one! I actually saw this recipe scrolling down my newsfeed on FaceBook. I was in the mood for something sweet and decided to make it. I love the fact that it's only a loaf - so you're not going to have a lot of cake left over. In fact - we had NONE left over. The icing was really good too and I will definitely be using this on other desserts. ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 cup oil (recommend using coconut oil)
• 1 cup powdered sugar + 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp whole milk (I used 2 %)
• 1/2 tsp lemon extract

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
3. Use a mixer to blend together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. 
4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
5. Add oil and mix well.
6. Pour batter into a well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pain.
7. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

Lemon Icing
1. Combine the powdered sugar, whole milk, and lemon extract in  a small bowl with an electric mixer on low speed.
When the loaf is cool, remove it from pan and frost the top with the icing.
