INGREDIENTS FOR LEMON LOAF

Aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)

Granulated Sugar

Dairy-Free Sour Cream

Vegetable Oil

Lemon Zest

Lemon Extract

All-Purpose Flour

Baking Powder

Salt

Powdered Sugar & Lemon Juice for the Lemon Glaze

HOW TO MAKE A LEMON LOAF

To make the cake, begin by mixing the aquafaba, lemon zest and lemon extract until the mixture becomes thick and foamy. Next, add the sugar, sour cream, and vegetable oil and mix until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and mix until everything is well combined. If you're using the lemon food coloring, add that in now as well.

Next, pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 to 52 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once the cake is finished baking, let it cool for about 30 minutes before removing it from the pan.

While the cake is cooling, you can make the lemon glaze. To do this, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice until you have a smooth and pourable consistency. Add more lemon juice for a thinner consistency.

Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

This lemon loaf pound cake is a perfect dessert for any occasion. The lemon glaze adds a tangy sweetness that perfectly complements the dense and moist pound cake.
