i also remove it from the pan after it cooled off and then place back inside and leave it there. then add the lemon sauce and the final lemon glaze icing while the cake is in the pan. then i refrigerate it and keep it in the pan and carefully cut slices to serve, and if left overs place aluminum foil over the cake in the pan and refrigerate.


What you'll need:

1 1/2 cup All Purpose flour
1 1/3 cup sugar, divided
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c. sour cream
3 large eggs
2 tbsp grated lemon zest
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (i used freshly squeezed lemon juice)
2 tbsp water
1 tsp lemon extract, divided
1 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tbsp skim milk (i used whole milk)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, stir flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice. Pour sour cream mixture into flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes or until golden and thin skewer inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, stir together remaining 1/3 cup sugar, water and 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear. Set aside.
Cool bread in pan 10 minutes. Loosen edges of loaf with a knife, invert loaf onto cooling rack to remove bread and turn right-side-up on rack. With thin skewer, poke holes in bread; slowly pour syrup over bread and allow it to soak in. Cool completely.
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract. Pour over bread, allowing it to run down sides.
