I\u2019d usually order the largest dark brew I could, along with a slice of their glorious, glazed lemon cake.<\/p>\n<p>Sweet, moist and bursting with bright lemon, this lemon cake was the perfect motivation to get my work done. Finish a paragraph, take a bite. Memorize an equation, take another bite.<\/p>\n<p>Since graduating, my love for this cake hasn\u2019t diminished. So you can imagine how excited I was when I came across Lola Baxter\u2019s almost perfect copycat Starbucks lemon loaf recipe at <em>Taste Recipes<\/em>. Made with only a few simple ingredients and ready in less than an hour, I was finally able to re-create my favorite Starbucks treat right at home. Along with some spot-on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/starbucks-copycat-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/starbucks-copycat-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Starbucks copycats drinks<\/a>, my kitchen practically transformed into a Starbucks that morning.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Soften the butter to room temperature so it creams easily with the butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> We use 1 cup of granulated sugar to sweeten these gorgeous lemon loaves. Don&#8217;t swap brown sugar for granulated sugar. Brown sugar\u2019s molasses, caramel flavor won&#8217;t pair well with the delicate, refreshing lemon flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">bake with room temperature eggs<\/a>? They emulsify into the batter better, creating a lovely texture. Cold eggs will seize the butter and cause it to lump, which messes up the batter\u2019s emulsification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon zest:<\/strong> Do not, I repeat, <em>do not<\/em> grate the white pith into your batter! The lemon\u2019s pith (the white part underneath the yellow skin) is very bitter. Grate the lemon skin just enough to expose that white pith without getting any of it into the batter. Who knew there was a technique on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-zest-a-lemon-3-easy-ways\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-zest-a-lemon-3-easy-ways\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to zest a lemon<\/a> properly?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extracts:<\/strong> If you really want this to taste just like a copycat Starbucks lemon loaf, you must use lemon extract for the correct amount of punchy lemon flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> Quick breads have a very distinct texture: a tight crumb that\u2019s still tender and moist. All-purpose flour is the perfect type of flour to achieve that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking soda:<\/strong> You\u2019ll only need a 1\/4 teaspoon of baking soda to make this Starbucks recipe for lemon loaf rise so it\u2019s tall and tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> A bit of sour cream creates a gorgeous tangy richness that really brings out the brightness from the lemon. Plus, sour cream moistens the loaf so every bite is sink-your-teeth-in soft.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Icing:<\/strong> It\u2019s not a copycat Starbucks recipe for lemon loaf without the lemon icing! All you\u2019ll need is confectioners\u2019 sugar, grated lemon zest and lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice is always best!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the pans<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease and flour three 5-3\/4x3x2-inch loaf pans with baking spray or with a smear of butter followed by a coating of flour.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> To grease the pans with butter and flour, drop a dollop of softened butter or shortening into the loaf pans and, using your hand or a pastry brush, smear it along the bottom and sides of the pans.

Add five extra minutes to the baking time. You <em>could<\/em> use a 9&#215;5-inch loaf pan, but know the loaf will be considerably flatter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add berries:<\/strong> Oomph up this lemon loaf by adding a handful of berries into the batter. Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries are excellent choices. If you have some berries left over, scatter them on top of the loaves after icing!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish with frosting instead:<\/strong> For frosting fans, omit the lemon glaze and smooth or pipe on tangy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cream-cheese-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cream-cheese-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cream cheese frosting<\/a> or the lemon frosting from this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-layer-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-layer-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">lemon cake recipe<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf<\/h2>\n<p>Because this copycat Starbucks lemon loaf contains sour cream, we recommend storing it in the fridge. Press storage wrap against the cut side to prevent it from drying out, and keep the loaves in an airtight container. They can last in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze copycat Starbucks lemon loaf?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! To freeze unfrosted loaves, allow them to cool to room temperature, then wrap each one tightly in storage wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. They can last up to two months in the freezer. Allow them to thaw overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>To freeze frosted loaves, pop the loaves, uncovered, in the freezer for one hour to flash freeze. Then, wrap each loaf in storage wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to two months, and thaw overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2032467 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Copycat-Starbucks-Lemon-Loaf-Recipe_FT24_140330_JR_0815_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Recipe Ft24 140330 Jr 0815 7\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make muffins from this Starbucks lemon loaf cake recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>Our Test Kitchen doesn\u2019t recommend turning this copycat Starbucks lemon loaf recipe into muffins. You won\u2019t get as much of the fluffy cake center, and instead, end up with something that mostly has the texture of the outside edges.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use store-bought lemon juice instead of fresh lemon juice?<\/h3>\n<p>While store-bought lemon juice is convenient, it\u2019s had more time to oxidize and contains more preservatives, so it usually doesn\u2019t have the same zing and brightness that fresh lemons give a recipe. Plus, lemons last a long time in the fridge, so there\u2019s no reason to not keep some on hand! If you want to use store-bought lemon juice anyway, make sure it\u2019s the frozen kind, and that the only ingredient is lemon juice.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you do if the icing is too runny?<\/h3>\n<p>If the icing is too runny, you need more confectioners\u2019 sugar! Start with a 1\/4 cup, then add until the icing is the consistency you need. To keep your icing from becoming grainy, make sure you\u2019re not using granulated sugar\u2014only confectioners\u2019 sugar\u2014and always sift it beforehand.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you use if you don\u2019t have lemon extract?<\/h3>\n<p>Lemon extract isn\u2019t something we use often, so it\u2019s totally understandable if you don\u2019t have any on hand. (If you do grab a bottle, use the rest of it up in these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/lemon-extract-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/lemon-extract-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">recipes that use lemon extract<\/a>.) You can easily substitute some freshly squeezed lemon juice instead\u2014just use 2 tablespoons of juice for every teaspoon of lemon extract. Consider reducing the other liquid ingredients by a little less than 2 tablespoons to compensate.<\/p>\n<h3>Is loaf cake the same as pound cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Loaf cake and pound cake are similar, but there are some important distinctions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/we-made-the-original-old-fashioned-pound-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/we-made-the-original-old-fashioned-pound-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Traditional pound cake<\/a> is made with one pound each of butter, eggs, sugar and flour.

I also decided to try orange, but I'm sure doing this with lemon juice would work but may be a tad less sweet. I forgot the zest entirely and replaced the lemon zest and extract with 1\/3c orange juice. For the sour cream, I did as another reviewer recommended and used milk instead (almond milk actually). For the icing, I used the powdered sugar and mixed it with orange juice until it was a thick dribble consistency and I could spoon it over the top. It was delicious and very, very moist.
