Equipment

  • 1 9x5 inch loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • butter for greasing the pan
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for the pan
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sunflower oil
  • cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 organic lemons zest and juice
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter and dust it lightly with flour.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  • Add the sunflower oil and Greek yogurt to the egg-sugar mixture. Mix well.
  • Stir in the zest and juice of two lemons. Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry. Mix until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Insert a wooden skewer or fork into the center of the loaf; once it comes out clean, the pastry is ready.
  • Remove the loaf from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, for the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of zest from the third lemon.
  • Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled loaf and sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
