Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling for easy removal.
• In a large bowl whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
• In a separate bowl whisk eggs, melted butter, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and fold gently just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
• Transfer batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan once on the counter to release air bubbles.
• Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out to a wire rack to cool for another 30 minutes before glazing.
• Make the glaze: whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice. Add a splash of milk as needed for a thick, pourable glaze.
• Drizzle glaze over the cooled loaf. Let set for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
