Description
A simple, bright, and comforting lemon loaf made with just four ingredients, delivering a soft crumb, fresh citrus flavor, and an effortless homemade feel that is perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
- Vanilla cake mix: 430 g box, provides structure, sweetness, and a tender crumb
- Fresh lemon juice: 120 ml, adds bright citrus flavor and moisture
- Vegetable oil: 80 ml, keeps the loaf soft and rich
- Eggs: 3 large eggs (about 150 g without shells), bind the batter and create a fluffy texture
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, fresh lemon juice, vegetable oil, and eggs.
- Mix until the batter is smooth, glossy, and fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and gently level the top.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the loaf light and tender.
- Allow the loaf to cool fully before slicing for clean, even pieces.
- A simple lemon glaze can be added for extra sweetness and shine.
