Here’s a Copycat Starbucks® Lemon Bread recipe that will bring that delightful, moist lemony sweetness to your home!
Copycat Starbucks® Lemon Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 (4.3 ounce) package non-instant lemon pudding mix
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 8 ounces sour cream
- ½ cup milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan (9×5 inches) or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and the lemon pudding mix.
- Add the vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, and milk to the dry ingredients.
- Mix everything together until fully incorporated, using a hand mixer or whisk.
3. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
4. Cool:
- Let the lemon bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Optional Glaze:
- If you want to make it even more like the Starbucks version, you can make a simple glaze. Combine 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread for an extra sweet finish.
Tips:
- For Extra Lemon Flavor: Add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter for a more vibrant lemon taste.
- Make it Mini: You can make this into mini loaves or muffins—just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container to keep it moist. It will last for about 3-4 days at room temperature or a bit longer if refrigerated.
