Instructions

Loaves:

Preheat oven to 350F and grease & flour 8 mini-loaf pans*. I use homemade cake release.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together, set aside.
Beat butter until smooth. Add sugar and lemon zest and beat until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Add vanilla.
Add flour and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour (2 additions of flour and 1 of milk). Fully incorporating after each addition.
Add sour cream and lemon juice and mix until combined.
Spoon or pipe batter into pan.
Bake for 20-25mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Cool in pan for 10mins, then turn loaves out onto wire rack.
While the loaves are still hot, poke with a toothpick or skewer and immediately brush with syrup. Allow to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle glaze over top.

Syrup:

Place lemon juice and sugar into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until simmering and all sugar has dissolved. Set aside until loaves are ready.

Glaze:

Place powdered sugar and water into a measuring cup. Stir with a fork until fully combined. Drizzle over loaves. Top with lemon zest if desired.

Notes

*If you don’t have mini loaf pans you can easily make this recipe in one regular-sized loaf pan or a 6-cup Bundt pan. Adjust baking time accordingly.
