Preheat the oven to 350°F / 176°C. Lightly grease the loaf pan (9″x 5″) with softened butter & flour or line the inside of the pan with parchment paper. In a bowl: combine all the sugar, eggs and beat until pale yellow.
Then add lemon extract, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, sour cream and continue to mix.
Mix the flour, salt & baking powder together. (I highly recommend weighing your flour and sifting the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients, this will make the batter fluffy and not lumpy).
Transfer the batter to the pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of the bread comes out clean (tent with aluminum foil after 35 minutes, if it’s getting too brown on top). Remove from the oven and rest the bread in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring the loaf to a cake rack to finish cooling.
Icing
- In a small bowl: combine powdered sugar and lemon juice. Mix well until nice and smooth. It’s going to be thick. If you prefer thinner icing, add more lemon juice. Spread icing over cool loaf.
