Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. lemon zest – about 2 large lemons
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp.` almond extract
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. almond extract
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan with non stick spray. If you are using a 10x5 loaf pan double this recipe as this recipe. Optional: Line the loaf pan with parchment paper or foil and leave an overhang to make removal easier.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the lemon zest to the 1 cup of sugar and then mix it into the flour mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice and almond extract. Add this to the flour mixture from the last step and stir just until combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes. If the recipe is being doubled for a 10x5 loaf pan increase the baking time 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the bread after 10 minutes of cooling and allow it to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, lemon juice and almond extract. If the glaze is too thick add a little more lemon juice until the desired consistency has been reached. Spoon the glaze all over the top of the bread and then top with the almond slices.
- Store covered at room temperature
