Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream and lemon juice. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the cake is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
  8. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
  10. Slice, serve, and enjoy this delicious lemony treat!
