I am not much of a sweet eater, but... even I, want a little goodie every now and then. It's always nice to have something homemade on hand, when friends stop by, and.. something light and refreshing, for topping off a heavy meal. This is awesome to eat, and really easy to make. A royal lemony icing tops off this delicious cake. This is sure to become a favorite in your house, just like it is in mine!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
2 tbsp. Butter; softened
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Lemon Extract
1/3 cup Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Oil (...of your choice. I use olive oil)
Icing Ingredients:
1 cup Powdered Sugar + 1 Tablespoon.
2 tbsp. Milk
1/2 tsp. Lemon Extract
Directions:
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Use a mixer to blend together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry flour, and mix well until smooth.
- Add oil and mix well again.
- Pour batter into a well greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into center of the cake comes out clean.
- Make the lemon icing by combining all the icing ingredients in a small bowl with an electric mixer on low speed.
- When the cake is cool, remove from pan, and frost with the icing.
- Let the icing set (harden) before slicing.
NOW ENJOY!
