Lemon Loaf Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • zest of 2 lemons
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 ounces lemon yogurt
  • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 4-5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2-by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan and dust lightly with flour. Sift together flour, baking powder, ginger and salt; set aside. Sprinkle several tablespoons of granulated sugar on a cutting board. Add lemon rind and chop as fine as possible. Transfer to a large mixer bowl and add remaining granulated sugar, butter and cream cheese. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add yogurt and mix well. Stop the mixer and add dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes then invert onto a wire rack. Make glaze by mixing confectioner's sugar and enough lemon juice to make a glaze. Pour over warm cake.
