Lemon is so refreshing, so tangy, yet sweet. Lately I have been on a banana bread obsession and I think this lemon loaf is changing that obsession to lemon loafs! This Lemon Loaf with a Lemon Glaze was the perfect treat for me!
This cake is so moist, super lemony and cake. One of my favorite loaf cakes.
The lemon glaze is sweet and tangy, it goes perfectly with the moist lemon loaf.
Let’s begin with the ingredients needed for this recipe. All kitchen staples for me 
(imagine some powdered sugar in this picture)
Preheat your oven to 350F and grease a 9X5 loaf pan. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set the mixture aside.
In bowl of an electric mixer combine sugar and butter for 3-4 minutes.
Add in eggs one at a time. Mix until fully combined.
Mix in a heaping tablespoon of lemon rind and the lemon juice
Fold in dry mixture. Then fold in greek yogurt.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, I always use the toothpick test and check.
Let cool on a wire rack.
While cake is cooling prepare lemon glaze. In a bowl combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon rind, and splash of milk. Drizzle on top of cake
