Prepare the Oven & Loaf Pan

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the Loaf

1. Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
2. Bake: Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
3. Cool: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze (Optional)

1. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. If you’d like a thinner glaze, add a little more lemon juice, one teaspoon at a time.
2. Glaze the Loaf: Once the loaf has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top for a sweet finishing touch.
