Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
- Zest and juice the two lemons. In a large bowl, mix lemon zest with 1 cup of granulated sugar, rubbing until fragrant.
- Add 3 large eggs, 1 cup sour cream, the lemon juice, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon lemon extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cooling, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice to make the glaze.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the loaf and allow it to set before slicing.
- Slice with a serrated knife and serve with tea or coffee.
