Ingredients

Loaf:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 large eggs , at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup sour cream , removed from fridge 15 minutes before using

Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup icing/confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice , plus more as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8x4-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper that covers the bottom and long sides with an inch extending past the top of the pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beating well after each addition.
  • Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile prepare the glaze, adding enough lemon juice to make a pourable glaze. Place a baking tray under the cooling rack to catch any drips and spoon glaze slowly over top and sides of loaf. Cool completely.
