Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, sour cream, oil, and melted butter until smooth.
  • Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.
  • Once the loaf is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Garnish with lemon zest if desired.
  • Slice and enjoy!
