Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Beat together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Whip in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat until just combined.
  • Scoop the batter into the loaf pan. Bake 35-40 minutes until the center is no longer jiggly and an inserted toothpick emerges with just a few moist crumbs. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack. Cool completely.
