Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks (one cup) butter, room temperature
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 4 Eggs
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 ¾ cup flour
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk

Ingredients for the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 3 to 4 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a large loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add the lemon zest, lemon extract, and eggs. Beat until well combined.
  • Add the lemon juice and sour cream. Mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add half the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
  • Pour the milk into the bowl and mix.
  • Add the remaining flour and mix until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • While the cake is cooling, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, lemon extract, and two tablespoons of milk. Whisk until smooth. Continue adding milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • When the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of the loaf. Allow the cake to rest for 10 minutes, until the glaze is set, before serving.
