Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf

subheading: FOR THE LOAF:

all-purpose flour - If you prefer, you can use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour for a slightly healthier option. Alternatively, gluten-free all-purpose flour can be used for a gluten-free version of the loaf.

baking powder

baking soda

salt

unsalted butter - You can use salted butter in this recipe. However, since salted butter already contains salt, you may want to reduce or omit the additional salt called for in the recipe to avoid over-salting the loaf.

vegetable oil - Canola oil or melted coconut oil can be used as substitutes for vegetable oil. They all serve the same purpose of adding moisture to the loaf.

granulated sugar - You can use brown sugar or coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar. Keep in mind that these alternatives might slightly alter the flavor and color of the loaf.

large eggs

vanilla extract

lemon extract

lemon zest and lemon juice - If you don’t have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice and lemon zest from a container. However, fresh lemon zest and juice typically offer a brighter flavor.

sour cream - Instead of sour cream, you can use an equal amount of Greek yogurt or buttermilk. These alternatives will still provide moisture and a slight tanginess to the loaf.
