Steps of Lemon Loaf Cake recipe

#	Steps
1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
2.	In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3.	In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4.	Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the lemon juice and zest.
5.	Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
6.	Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7.	Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8.	To make the lemon glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
9.	Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

For a more intense lemon flavor, you can add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice and zest to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles. Make sure to cool the cake completely before adding the lemon glaze, otherwise the glaze may melt and become too runny. This Lemon Loaf Cake is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests. With its tangy lemon flavor and moist texture, it's a delicious treat that can be enjoyed for dessert or breakfast. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out!
