Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups fresh raspberries rinsed, plus more for topping (optional)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vanilla Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed (approx. 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest approx. 1 large lemon
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Optional Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar or icing sugar
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice depending on desired thickness, more or les to taste
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Line an 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper leaving the sides longer for a quicker way to remove the loaf later, and spray uncovered areas with non-stick spray (you can also spray the full pan with non-stick spray first, it will help keep the parchment tighter).
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a small bowl whisk 1 ⅓ cup flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- In another small bowl combine rinsed raspberries and 1 tablespoon of flour.
- Gently fold until combined and set aside. If topping the loaf with raspberries, set aside an additional 10-12.
- On the lowest setting of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment beat sugar, vanilla Greek yogurt, melted salted butter, lemon juice and zest until it is well mixed and looks like a custard.
- Add in both eggs and mix for about 60 seconds, still on low.
- With the mixer on the lowest setting, add in the dry ingredients for another 60 seconds.
- Until dough is formed.
- With a spatula, carefully add in your raspberries to evenly distribute.
- Gently fold until raspberries are totally incorporated.
- Pour the loaf mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out moist from the center, with a few crumbs or bits.
- Cool the loaf pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Next, remove the loaf from the pan to cool completely on top of the rack.
Make the Glaze
- Once your loaf is cool, start your glaze by whisking icing sugar and lemon juice until you have reached the desired consistency. If the loaf is still too warm the glaze will become thinner and may run off.
- Drizzle or spread glaze all over your loaf.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy every bite!
Notes
- Makes 1 loaf, about 12 slices.
- Storage
- After the lemon glaze is set you can wrap up your lemon loaf in plastic wrap and keep out for 3 days. If you would like to keep the loaf longer, feel free to keep it in the fridge for up to 6 days or freezer for 2 months.
- Expert Tips
- Check your loaf: About halfway through baking so if getting too dark on top you can cover the top with a piece of tinfoil for the rest of the baking time.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick in the center of your loaf to check if done baking. Wen the toothpick comes out clean with a few crumbs your loaf is done. Remember all ovens are slightly different.
- Cool in the pan: Cool the loaf pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Cool completely: Make sure the lemon cake with raspberries is cool before adding glaze or it will simply run off and not stay on top of the loaf.
