Moist Lemon Loaf

I had a craving for this pound cake and after a few trials and errors, I finally nailed the flavor, texture, and moistness.

While this looks like the Starbucks loaf, I can assure you this is 100 times better before it tastes buttery, lemony, and best of all it’s homemade.

The process is fairly simple: make the batter, bake, then add the lemon syrup (to ensure flavor and moistness), and finally, drizzle with the lemon glaze. It’s so goooood.

The day I baked it, it was rainy here in Miami, so I had to wait until the next day to take its picture. My husband and daughters wanted to eat it so badly. So I had to hide in a cupboard because I was afraid when I woke up it would have been eaten.

In November, we visited Madrid. Every day we had breakfast at this little cute place that had this moist lemon loaf. It tasted so fresh, citrusy, buttery. I looked forward every day to eating this yummy treat. And that’s where my inspiration came from.

As soon as you walked into that restaurant, you would see the lemon loaf sitting on the counter under a covered glass dome. When I came home, I kept dreaming of eating something like that again.

Since, eating and baking are my specialty (yes, in that order), I took matters into my own hands and started experimenting.

And now you too can enjoy this baked good in your home. I recommend baking 2 and freezing one, so you will always be prepared with unexpected company comes over.

The tanginess in the batter comes from lemon zest, lemon juice, and sour cream. These 3 elements together make a winning combination.
