    I don’t go to Starbuck a lot, I honestly just can’t afford it. But, at least once a month, I definitely treat myself to a Latte. I certainly deserve it! For years, I thought Starbucks was just a great place to go and load up on caffeine drinks. But, at some point, I realized that they had some pretty tasty snacks there as well. And their Lemon Loaf bread is one of my favorites!

    Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Recipe

    It’s weird, lemon flavored desserts are often things that I overlook when deciding what to eat. But, everytime I eat something, I absolutely love the fresh, sweet taste. I’ve made some really delicious lemon inspired recipes on this website, like these Mini Strawberry Lemon Tarts and these Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes.

    So, I thought I’d take a shot at sharing this copycat version of my favorite treat at Starbucks: The Iced Lemon Loaf Cake!

    Starbucks Lemon Loaf Ingredients

    What Ingredients Will You Need For This Recipe?

    Like I mentioned above, nothing crazy here and you probably already have most of these in your kitchen already!

    For The Lemon Loaf

    • all-purpose flour
    • baking powder
    • salt
    • granulated sugar
    • large eggs, room temperature
    • butter, softened
    • lemon juice and lemon zest
    • whole milk

    For The Glaze:

    • confectioners’ sugar
    • milk

    Do You Need To Put The Glaze On This Lemon Loaf?

    No, not really. But that is a large part of the awesomeness of the Starbucks recipe. You could have this lemon bread just plain if you needed to cut out some of the sugar. Some other options to put on top of the this loaf would be lemon curd or even a thin layer of vanilla pudding. In this case, you would need to keep it refrigerated. But it may be tasty!Lemon Loaf Instructions involve using lime zest to flavor the pound cake.

    Other Tips And Tricks For Starbucks Lemon Loaf Recipe

    We use butter in this recipe instead of oil. From some research, it appears that that is what Starbucks uses in their recipe, so it makes sense to do that. If you want to make this recipe have even more of a lemon flavor, you could add a small amount of lemon extract to the mix (I wouldn’t put more than one 1 tsp in).

    I hope you enjoy this recipe for Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Recipe. I’d love to know how it turns out for you in the comments. Happy Baking!
