Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the zest from 3 lemons with granulated sugar in a stand mixer and massage it for about 2 minutes.
- Add unsalted butter and vegetable oil to the lemon-sugar mixture, mixing on medium for 3 minutes until fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, then add fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon extract, mixing until blended.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add this to the wet ingredients with Greek yogurt and milk.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, checking that a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the loaf in the pan for 5 minutes, then brush with lemon simple syrup before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice for a glaze and drizzle over the loaf before serving.

Notes
Allow the loaf to cool completely before glazing to avoid messy presentation. Experiment with different citrus fruits for added variation.
