Ingredients
- dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup sugar (I used white sugar)
- 1 cup dairy free milk (unsweetened)
- ½ cup neutral vegetable oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tbs lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbs lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 °F
- Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan and line with parchment paper (leave enough overhang for easy removal of the loaf)
- In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt). Stir to combine
- In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients (sugar, dairy free milk, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract), and stir until fully combined
- Slowly add dry ingredient mixture to wet ingredients, and gently mix them together until fully incorporated
- Pour batter into prepped loaf pan
- Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes - remove and tent with tinfoil to prevent the top from over browning
- Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean
- Place onto wire rack to cool
- Once cool enough, remove from loaf pan using the overhang of parchment paper and allow to fully cool
- Prepare glaze by mixing all glaze ingredients (powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest) until fully mixed
- Drizzle glaze over top of the loaf - allow to set before slicing (I put mine in the refrigerator for 10 minutes because I am impatient)
- Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 slices
- Enjoy!
