Then add the oil, sparkling water, eggs, lemon juice and lemon extract and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined.
Fill in the batter in loaf pan, which you prepared with silicone baking mats, parchment paper or butter, so the cake won’t stick.
Bake for 50 minutes at 350 °F.
After that, in a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and the lemon juice and whisk to combine. Add the frosting on the cake.
