Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder 
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons lemon zest
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 8×4 inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.  Using a hand mixer or stand mixer beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to stir.  Add the eggs one at a time mixing just until barely incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater several times.  Add the lemon juice and lemon zest mixing just until slightly incorporated.
  • Keeping the mixer on low speed add the dry ingredients and the sour cream alternating between the two.  Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes.  Remove from the oven and cool for 25-30 minutes.  Carefully invert the cake onto a cooling rack.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together until smooth.  Drizzle over the cake and let cool before slicing.
