1-First, preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced) and prepare your loaf pan. Grease it and line the long sides and base with baking paper to make removal easy later. This sets the stage for a perfect bake.

2-Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups plain all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. This mixture provides the base for your bread’s texture.

3-In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until they’re well combined: 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 large eggs, 75g melted and cooled unsalted butter, 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 1/4 cups caster sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract if you’re using it. Pour this into the dry mix and whisk just until smooth don’t overmix to keep it light.

4-Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, then loosely cover with foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack using the baking paper.

5-Once cooled completely for at least 3 hours, make the glaze by mixing 1 cup icing sugar with 3 to 3 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice until it’s thick and drips slowly. Spread it over the loaf and let it set. Enjoy your fresh-baked treat!
