Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, olive oil, and lemon juice. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Lemon Zest Magic 🍋Always zest your lemons before juicing, and use fresh, organic lemons for the most vibrant citrus flavor in your loaf cake.
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Allow eggs, cream cheese, and butter to come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before mixing to ensure a smoother, more uniform batter.
- Olive Oil Moisture Hack 💧Replace some of the butter with high-quality olive oil to create an incredibly moist and tender crumb that stays fresh longer.
- Frosting Consistency Trick 🧊Chill your cream cheese frosting for 10-15 minutes before spreading to achieve a perfect, spreadable texture that won't run down the sides.
- Loaf Pan Prep Pro 🧈Line your loaf pan with parchment paper that overhangs on two sides for easy removal and a perfectly shaped cake every time.
