1 Loaf pan
Parchment Paper optional
Lemon Glaze
- 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
- pinch Salt
- 1 cup Confectioners / Icing / Powdered Sugar
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 1 regular/large loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a separate bowl - a small or medium bowl - whisk together sugar, yogurt, vegetable oil, lemon juice, eggs, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
Add the wet ingredients mixture to the mixing bowl of dry ingredients, use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir just until combined.
Pour batter into prepared tin.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until crust is a rich golden brown, and knife inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Once fully cooked, remove from oven, and let the bread fully cool on a wire rack before you make the glaze.
Lemon Glaze
Whisk together the lemon juice and salt.
Add the powdered sugar, a little at a time, whisking until smooth. You want it VERY thick, but you can add extra lemon juice if you need.
Drizzle glaze over the cooled loaf, allow to set for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting - if you’ve got that kind of patience!
Leftovers can be cooled to room temperature, wrapped in Saran wrap and stored in the fridge for 5 days or so.
Best served at room temperature or - ideally - warmer.
