Ingredients

For the Loaf Cake

  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Extract
  • 1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt

For the Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered Confectioners Sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice

Instructions

For the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl whisk egg, sour cream, sugar, and oil until well combined. Stir in lemon zest, and lemon extract.
  • Add flour, baking powder, and salt, then stir until just combined.
  • Bake for 50-52 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • If needed: Loosely cover the pan with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning around the edges.
  • Cool in pan for 25-30 minutes.

For the Glaze

  • In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice or a bit of milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  • Evenly spread or drizzle over cake.
