Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup butter (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • Zest of 2–3 lemons
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
  • Powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Incorporate Greek yogurt, lemon juice, zest, and extracts into the mixture until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow cooling for 15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
