Easy Blender Lemon Bread Recipe
By Lisa Gregory
Since chocolate isn’t my go-to, I love exploring other sweet treats. This lemon cake is a favorite—refreshing, fragrant, and effortlessly blended to perfection.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 whole seedless lemon washed, quartered, and seeds removed
4 eggs at room temperature
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For the Lemon Glaze
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1-2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9×5 loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a blender, combine the whole seedless lemon (quartered and seeds removed), eggs, olive oil, granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Process the mixture until smooth, being careful not to over-blend.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sea salt) to the blender. Pulse just a few times until the dry ingredients are incorporated into the wet mixture. Do not overmix
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.
