This copycat Starbucks lemon loaf recipe is super moist and fluffy, full of bright lemon flavor, and made with simple ingredients. This easy recipe is vegan and made with a delicious lemon glaze. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavor, and it's perfect for breakfast to enjoy with a cup of coffee, or as a delicious citrus dessert to have at any time of the day!
To a large bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients and mix them well.
Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk them together.
Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level out the top. Bake the loaf for 50-55 minutes at 350*F. I baked my loaf for exactly 50 minutes, but your oven or pan might differ.
While the loaf is baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, whisk up the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and zest. Refrigerate the frosting.
When the loaf is done baking, allow it to cool off at room temperature.
Make sure the loaf has completely cooled off, then add the cream cheese frosting on top. Note: If the loaf is still warm, the frosting might melt off.
Slice the loaf and enjoy! Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
