I haven’t tested with this size, which is why I recommend it. You may need to cook the bread for longer. Test with a toothpick after the time listed on the recipe, then add in 5-10 minute increments until fully cooked (toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

Thank you for the awesome comment Joan!

I make this every year, @ Christmas time, & give it for gifts. My niece told me they like this bread better than Starbucks, & that’s quite a compliment! It turns out perfect every time, & I too, like using the sour cream in it.

You are so welcome Kim! Thanks for stopping by.

It’s so good!!!! And not hard to do. My son wanted a lemon loaf from Starbucks I said I could make one!!! Without knowing if I really could..:) but with your recipe I NAILED IT!!! Thank you very much

This came out dense and dry. The flavor was OK but I felt like it could have been more lemony, rich and buttery. I guess I’d recommend more lemon zest and sour cream or oil in the batter?

To get the icing really thick, you could try adding it in stages/layers. Pour some icing on the cooled loaf, let it set for an hour, then another layer, and so on. This has worked for some people if the icing is too thin.

I love, love, love the Copycat Starbucks Lemon loaf! It is delicious. My only comment is – how do they get the icing to form a thick white frosting on top and, even though I added extra powdered sugar to thicken it, the frosting still ran off. I even poured it over the cooled loaf in the pan! Definitely making this again – a lot!!
