Lemon Bread

Ingredients

• •1¾ cups all-purpose flour
• •½ teaspoon baking soda
• •½ teaspoon salt
• •½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• •1 cup granulated sugar
• •2 large eggs
• •½ cup sour cream
• •3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• •1 tablespoon lemon zest
• •1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
2. 2Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
3. 3Cream butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, then beat in eggs one at a time.
4. 4Stir in lemon juice and zest, then alternately add flour mixture and sour cream, beginning and ending with flour.
5. 5Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. 6Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
7. 7Whisk powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice to make glaze and drizzle over cooled bread.

💡 Rub lemon zest into the sugar before mixing lemon bread batter; the abrasion releases citrus oils more effectively than simply stirring zest into flour.
