what's cooking: starbucks iced lemon loaf

thank you pinterest once again for a *super* yummy recipe. startbucks famous iced lemon loaf.
i have a weakness with this pastry from starbucks. when i used to work there we were able to choose *samples* of pastries for our customers to try. i pretty much always chose the lemon loaf because i myself needed to have a...sample. here it is:


LOAF
1 1/2 cups FLOUR
1/2 teaspoon BAKING SODA
1/2 teaspoon BAKING POWDER
1/2 teaspoon SALT
3 EGGS
1 cup SUGAR
2 tablespoons BUTTER; Softened.
1 teaspoon VANILLA
1 teaspoon LEMON EXTRACT
1/3 cup LEMON JUICE
1/2 cup OIL

LEMON ICING
1 cup POWDERED SUGAR; Plus 1 Tablespoon.
2 tablespoons WHOLE MILK; I Used 2%.
1/2 teaspoon LEMON EXTRACT

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Use a mixer to blend together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
Pour wet ingredient into the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
Add oil and mix well.
Pour batter into a well greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into center of the cake comes out clean.
Make the lemon icing by combining all the icing ingredients in a small bowl with an electric mixer on low speed.
When the loaf is cool, remove it from pan and frost the top with the icing.
Let the icing set up before slicing.
