Instructions

Prep pan and start cake batter
1
  • Grease the base and sides of a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter, then line the base and sides with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang off the sides. (TIP: The overhang will make it easy for you to remove the cake from the pan later.)
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon.
  • Melt 4 tbsp butter in the microwave.
  • Combine sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl. Rub together sugar and zest using your fingertips until mixture is fragrant. Add eggs, then whisk until smooth and sugar is dissolved, 1-2 min. Add melted butter, 1/4 cup oil, sour cream and 1/2 cup milk, then whisk until smooth.
Finish cake batter and bake cake
2
  • Add 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt into a medium bowl, then whisk to combine.
  • Gently stir flour mixture into egg mixture until combined and no floury streaks remain.
  • Transfer cake batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake in the middle of the oven until cake is golden and a knife inserted into the centre of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs, 50-60 min.
Cool cake and make lemon glaze
3
  • Transfer loaf pan to a wire rack and let cool for 10 min. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan, then remove by pulling on the parchment paper.
  • Prick the top of the cake all over with a skewer or fork, then squeeze remaining lemon over cake.
  • Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack. (TIP: You can place cake in the fridge for 10-15 min to help speed up the cooling!)
  • While cake cools, combine icing sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp milk and a pinch of salt together in another medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Finish and serve
4
  • Pour lemon glaze over top of cooled loaf cake, then spread it using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Cut into slices and enjoy right away or allow glaze to set at room temperature before slicing.
