Have you ever tried the lemon bread from Starbucks? As much as I enjoy baked desserts, I can’t turn down a slice of their lemon bread. It’s so tender and packed so much lemon flavor in every single slice. I remember when I was a student, I’d go to Starbucks and do my homework. And without any hesitation, I’d order this lemon bread, a perfect bread with bitterness, and the lemon flavor completes the bread without being too sour. This lemon loaf cake recipe has been quite a long time in the making. I don’t even know how much I practice and fail just to create the best version for me. If you’ve ever had Starbucks’ Lemon Loaf, you know how delicious it is. Full of lemon flavor, warm, thick, and rich. Something so perfect I shouldn’t want to know how to make at home, but I couldn’t leave well enough alone.

For the Cake:
(1) (18.25 oz) package yellow cake mix
(1) (4.3 oz) package non-instant lemon pudding mix
½ cup of vegetable oil
(4) large eggs
(8 oz) sour cream
½ cup milk
6 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
For the Icing:
2 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
3 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
