Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by ensuring your eggs and sour cream are at room temperature; let them sit for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, lightly spraying the pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, rub the zest of two medium lemons into 1 cup of granulated sugar. Add the eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice for icing and drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture. Mix gently to avoid a tough loaf.
