LEMON LEMON LOAF
Sometimes simplicity speaks volumes. Our lemon loaf recipe is very straightforward. We do not add poppy seeds, pecans, or any other extraneous ingredient. We really feel that the most important aspect of a lemon loaf is the zingy lemon flavor, and we accentuate it by using a combination of freshly squeezed lemon juice, freshly grated lemon zest, and a mildly sweet lemon syrup. The sour cream gives this loaf a subtle tang and a dense, moist crumb that cannot be achieved with yogurt. If you want to increase the lemony goodness of these cakes, add the simple glaze after the syrup has set and the cakes are cool. This loaf freezes extremely well, so you can double the recipe and make a few extra loaves.

Steps:
- MAKE THE LEMON CAKES
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the sides and bottom of two 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper.
- Sift both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Put the sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until combined. With the motor running, drizzle the butter in through the feed tube. Add the sour cream and vanilla and pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture, one third at a time, folding gently after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, rotate the pans, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F., and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes.
- MEANWHILE, MAKE THE LEMON SYRUP
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, continue to cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and invert the loaves onto the pan. Use a toothpick to poke holes in the tops and sides of the loaves.
- Brush the tops and sides of the loaves with the lemon syrup. Let the syrup soak into the cake and brush again. Let the cakes cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- (The soaked but unglazed loaves will keep, wrapped in two layers of plastic wrap and frozen, for up to 6 weeks.)
- IF YOU LIKE, MAKE THE LEMON GLAZE
- In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 4 tablespoons of the lemon juice. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If the mixture is too stiff, add up to another 2 tablespoons lemon juice and whisk again, adding small amounts of lemon juice and/or confectioners' sugar until you get the right consistency. Pour the lemon glaze over the top of each loaf and let it drip down the sides. Let the lemon glaze harden, about 15 minutes, before serving.
- The glazed loaves will keep for up to 3 days, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your loaf a brighter, more citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use 100% lemon juice, not a lemon-lime blend.
- Zest your lemons before juicing them. The zest of a lemon contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest your lemons before you juice them. You can use a microplane zester or a regular grater.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your loaf lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your loaf tough.
- Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 60-70 minutes.
- Let the loaf cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
Conclusion:
Lemon loaf is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With these tips, you can make the best lemon loaf ever. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
