Category: Quick Breads

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda and baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla and lemon extracts
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Lemon Icing
1 cup plus 1 tbsp confectioners sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp lemon extract

Preheat oven to 350. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Blend together eggs and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Add oil and mix well. Pour ingredients into a well-greased loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Icing: Combine ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over cooled loaf, remove it from the pan and frost the top with lemon icing. When icing is set up, slice the loaf.
