A shared Facebook post. Today an old post showed up in my Facebook memory for gluten free lemon loaf. The ingredient list was found on Facebook a long time ago, and I came across it again today. (Gluten Free Lemon Loaf, possibly Starbucks.)
As I have stated before, I would collect recipes and say that I would try them as gluten free. I’d then shake in my boots and store them away. Well, today this came up again so here we go.
Ingredient list
1 ½ cups gluten free flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp butter, soft
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract
⅓ cup lemon juice
½ cup coconut oil
Frosting
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp lemon extract
1 cup+ powdered sugar to desired consistency
I assembeled this totally different from the Facebook post so from here down this recipe is different.
Gluten Free Lemon Loaf
I have mentioned that I now make my loaves and cakes in my Hamilton Beach HomeBaker with Gluten-Free Setting. I think this is one of my greatest kitchen helpers. It makes baking so much easier than heating up a huge oven.
STEP 1
After gathering your ingredients, remove your cake pan. I followed the examples of the other cakes and quick breads that I’ve made. Wet goes in first. Then add dry and mix slightly.
STEP 2
First, put wet ingredients into the bread pan.
Butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon extract and juice, and oil.
STEP 3
Measure the gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a smallish bowl. Stir to combine.
STEP 4
Next, pour gluten free flour mixture into wet ingredients. I like to stir slightly to make sure that all the flour is mixed. Some recipes don’t quite mix enough in the HomeBaker. It leaves a harder crust as the flour isn’t incorporated properly. To avoid this just mix the dry ingredients slightly.
STEP 5
Set the HomeBaker or whichever machine you have to quick bread setting and walk away.
Frosting Preparation
STEP 6
In your mixing bowl mix lemon extract and milk on medium. Turn your mixer to stir and add powdered sugar slowly. Adding powders too fast throws the powdered sugar all over your kitchen! Add only enough powdered sugar to get the consistency that you are aiming for. If the icing gets too stiff you can always add a drop of milk.
My entire kitchen nows smells like lemon loaf! I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
Have to go make my icing!
