Baking a Lemon Loaf Cake is so easy. All you got to do is add in fresh lemon zest and lemon juice to your batter o butter and sugar.

Let me tell you when you mix butter, sugar, and lemon zest, it's going to smell so awesome. You should really take a pinch of that and taste it! It's really very good and aromatic 🙂

So basically there are 4 basic steps into baking this Lemon Coconut Loaf Cake

First add Softened Butter, Brown Sugar, Lemon Juice, Lemon Zest, Sour Cream, Coconut Milk, and White Vinegar in a bowl and mix it well using a wooden or silicone spatula. You can also use a handheld mixer or stand mixer to mix these ingredients.

Next, add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in the batter and mix well.

Now, Pour your Batter in a loaf cake tin and bake your Lemon Coconut Loaf cake at 350°F or 180°C for 35-40 minutes. Once it's baked cool it down to room temperature.

Finally, Get the bread out and top with some Lemon Sugar glaze. (Remember to cool the bread before you drizzle the icing on top. Or else the bread will soak all the icing and you'll have a very soggy bread)

So, that's it! That's how you make this perfect Lemon Coconut Loaf Cake. Isn't it just so easy!

How to make Gluten-Free Lemon Loaf Cake

You can use Coconut Flor to make gluten-free Lemon Coconut Loaf Cake. Don't use Almond flour as this will just not gel with the Lemon flavors.

How to know when your Lemon Coconut Pound Cake is done?

• You'll know that your cake is done only when you have a springy top, it breaks apart a little from the top and your home smells like something has been freshly baked.

What if my Lemon Coconut Loaf Cake does not rise?

If your Lemon Coconut Loaf Cake did not rise, it's probably because it had a lot of moisture content in it. Your Loaf Cake batter should not be too thin and ribbon-like. You cannot fix it at this stage by adding more flour. So, what you can do is lower the temperature of your oven and bake your cake for another 5-10 minutes or until you get a crusty top. Cool down the cake completely and freeze it for an hour before you cut out slices.
