Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour a 9x13 pan.
- Put the sugar and lemon zest in a food processor and process until they are completely combined and the sugar is pale yellow and fragrant.
- Put the lemon sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk in the eggs, oil, and lemon paste.
- Whisk in the lemon juice and sour cream, and get it as smooth as you can, but don't worry about little lumps.
- Whisk in the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Then fold in the flours. Note: the batter will be somewhat lumpy.
- Pour the batter into the preapred pan and bake for 30-33 minutes just until the cake is firm to the touch and is starting to turn golden.
- Cool for 15 minutes before spreading the glaze over the entire surface.
Glaze
- Whisk or process your sugar and lemon juice together until smooth. Add a bit more lemon juice if you feel that your glaze is too thick.
- Spread evenly over the warm (but not hot) cake. Let cool before slicing. Note: if you want very sharp slices, make sure you let the glaze completely harden before you cut into it.
