Ingredients
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 1 ½ cup Flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ cup Butter softened at room temperature
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Extract
- The zest from 1 Large Lemon
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup Powder sugar
- 1 Tbsp Milk
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, sour cream, and sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the lemon zest.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and lemon juice until smooth. Add more powdered sugar or milk as needed to reach your desired glaze consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
The lemon Extract is needed for that strong lemon flavor that is similar to the Starbucks cake.
