Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Lemon Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan.
- In the mixer, combine butter and sugar.
- Add in eggs and beat until well combined.
- Add sour cream, vanilla and lemon extracts, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix on low. Do not over mix.
- Pour batter into pan and bake for 45-55 minutes. Loaf is done when a toothpick comes out clean. If the loaf is not done at 45 minutes but is browning, cover with foil loosely over the top to allow more baking time without additional browning.
- For the lemon icing: In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, milk and lemon juice. Mix until well combined. If too thin, add additional powdered sugar until reached desired consistency.
- Remove loaf from pan once cooled. Spoon icing over top and let set for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
