Updated: Oct 24


Starbucks Lemon Loaf (Vegan CopyCat)

This Starbucks Lemon Loaf (Vegan CopyCat) is a delightful balance of bright citrus flavor and sweet, buttery goodness. With a soft, tender crumb and a zesty lemon glaze drizzled on top, each bite is bursting with refreshing lemony notes. The addition of plant-based ingredients ensures it’s moist and rich without using any dairy or eggs, making it a perfect treat for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a light dessert. Serve it on its own, or pair it with fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance!




Ingredients

2-1/4 cups All Purpose Flour

3/4 cup White Sugar

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 cup Plant-Based Milk (such as oat or soy)

1/2 cup Vegan Butter, melted

1/4 cup Lemon Juice

2 Large Lemons, zested (2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest)

1/2 tsp Lemon Extract (optional)

1-2 drops Lemon Food Coloring (optional)


Instructions

For the Cake:

Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease a 9.5" x 5" loaf pan.


In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, lemon zest and salt, set aside.


In a large glass measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, and lemon juice. (It's ok if it curdles).


Pour the milk mixture and melted butter into the bowl with the flour. Gently mix together. Do not over-mix the batter, or the cake might not rise properly. The batter should be a bit lumpy.


Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.


Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.


For the Icing

1-1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice

1-2 Tablespoon Plant-Based Milk, (such as oat or soy)

1 tsp Lemon Zest (optional)


Instructions

Add to a medium bowl the powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest, if using. Mix in the plant milk one tablespoons at a time until you get the consistency you desire.


Note: you can use either more or less of the plant based milk or lemon juice to get the flavor you desire.
