Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Butter (- see post for details)
  • 1 cup Splenda (- see post for details and alternatives)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Lemon Extract
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • ½ cup Sour Cream (- see post for alternative)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and double prep a loaf pan. I spray mine with nonstick and then dust lightly with flour.
  • In a medium bowl, use a whisk or a fork to blend together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside.
  • Next, in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and the granulated sugar alternative until light and fluffy. This can take up to five minutes to get light and fluffy depending on your alternative.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time to the mixing bowl, beating after each until incorporated and scraping down the bowl after adding. Then add the vanilla, lemon extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • For the next step we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl. Do this by adding half of the dry ingredients at a time and gently mixing between additions. Then you can blend in the sour cream.
  • Transfer the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes and a skewer comes out clean. Cool completely before adding icing from the recipe earlier mentioned.
