Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf My Foolproof Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the lemon juice.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency.
10. Once the loaf is completely cool, pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
