Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an (8x4 inch or 9x5 inch) loaf pan with cooking spray
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with an electric mixer), beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and pale, about 4-6 minutes. With a spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low-speed, add the eggs one at a time, add the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. With the mixer on low, add the flour and buttermilk alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Put the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the lemon syrup by combining together the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Remove the lemon loaf from the pan and set it on a rack. Brush the syrup over the loaf while warm.
- Make the icing by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and milk. Add additional juice, if needed. The icing should be thick.
- When the loaf is completely cool, pour the icing over the loaf.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, yogurt, and sugar, and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Add in oil, lemon extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice and continue to beat until smooth.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. You may also line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired.
- Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the lemon zest.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

CARROT LOAF CAKE WITH TANGY LEMON GLAZE
This easy, breezy one-bowl loaf cake makes the perfect afternoon snack - and a perfect breakfast the next day, too. It's lightly spiced and nut- and fruit-free, but feel free to add about 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit, if that's how you like your carrot cake. There is an optional bit of grated carrot in the lemony glaze, which doesn't lend that much flavor, but provides a lovely light orange hue. If grating carrot for the glaze seems fussy, you can certainly skip it.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Oil a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the two long sides. Oil the paper, too.
- Add the light brown sugar and eggs to a large bowl and whisk vigorously until pale in color, about 2 minutes. Add the oil, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk, starting slowly to incorporate the flour without spilling it, until well combined and smooth, switching to a rubber spatula if necessary. Fold in the grated carrots. The batter will be very thick.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any big air bubbles.
- Bake the cake until golden and puffed and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan and set on the rack over a baking sheet to cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, make the glaze: Finely zest the lemon into a medium bowl. Juice the lemon, and set aside lemon juice. Add the confectioners' sugar and finely grated carrot (if using) to the bowl with the zest, along with 4 teaspoons of the lemon juice. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Add more lemon juice as needed to make a thick but pourable glaze. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for a few minutes before slicing. Store the cake well wrapped at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest give the loaf its bright and tangy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can substitute bottled lemon juice and lemon extract, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the loaf is cooked through.
- Let the loaf cool completely before glazing: This allows the glaze to set properly.
- Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the loaf for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
This classic lemon loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With its bright and tangy flavor, it's perfect for any occasion.
