Servings: 11 slices
Calories: 284kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon zest (zest of one large lemon)
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cup sour cream
Lemon Glaze
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray. Make sure to get bottom and sides.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together.
- Add in the vanilla extract, zest, lemon juice, salt, and oil.
- Add in the baking powder, and sour cream.
- Slowly add in the flour, beating until well blended.
- Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes. Check the center of the loaf with a toothpick. The toothpick will come out clean when done.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before transferring the loaf to cool completely on a wired rack.
- Make sure the loaf is completely cool before adding the lemon glaze to the loaf. This will prevent the glaze from melting into the loaf.
- Prepare the lemon glaze by mixing together the confectioner's sugar and the 3 tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl. If it needs to be thinner, add a tablespoon of lemon juice at a time until you have reached your desired consistency.
- Drizzle on top of the completely cool lemon loaf and serve.
