Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cake flour
  • 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour can substitute with all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt I used plain non-fat
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest from 1 medium lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raspberries frozen or fresh

Oat Topping:

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup quick or rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter cold

Lemon Glaze:

  • 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice from about 1 medium lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line the bottom of a 9x5 inch loaf with parchment paper.

Prepare The Oat Topping:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Crumble in the butter with your fingers combining with the flour until pea-sized lumps are left. Set aside in the fridge.

Prepare The Loaf Cake:

  1. In a medium bowl, sift the flours, baking powder and salt together. Set aside
  2. In another bowl, whisk the sugar and lemon zest. Mix in eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract together. Add the melted butter, coconut oil and Greek yogurt whisking until fully incorporated.
  3. Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter in three additions, whisking gently after each addition until flour is just combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Evenly sprinkle with oat topping.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes before turning down the heat to 325°F. Continue baking for 30-35 more minutes, or until tops are a golden brown color and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow cake to cool completely on wire rack.

Prepare The Glaze:

  1. Whisk together powdered sugar and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Add more juice slowly as needed since you want it on the thick side. Pour over top of cooled cake.
