COPYCAT STARBUCKS LEMON BREAD

1 pkg (18.25-oz) yellow cake mix

1 pkg (4.3-oz) cook-and-serve lemon pudding mix

4 eggs

1 container (8-oz) sour cream

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

For Glaze:

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (or to suit taste)

For cake: Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line long sides and bottom of a 5X9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing a 1" overhang.

Beat together cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, lemon juice, milk, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake at 350-degrees about 1 hour, until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. This will take about 1 1/2 hours.

Make glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Spoon evenly over the cooled loaf; allow to stand 30 minutes before slicing.

Bread may be transferred to an airtight container and stored at room temperature up to 2 days. May be frozen like this for up to 3 months.

For more lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon lemon extract (flavoring).
