Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup Butter softened at room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp lemon extract
- The zest from 1 Large Lemon
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup powder sugar
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9 in loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with a non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sour cream and sugar with a hand held or stand up mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Slowly add in the eggs into the mixture one at a time mixing in between each egg. Then stir in the lemon extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Then gently mix in the lemon zest.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk and lemon juice in a medium size bowl. Add in more powdered sugar or milk as needed for the desired consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the top, slice and enjoy!
