- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Step 2
Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Step 3
Place the butter, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the ingredients together on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add two of the eggs, beat for 20-30 seconds until mostly combined, then add the remaining egg and the sour cream, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth.
- Step 4
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl. Beat the mixture on low until it becomes a smooth, thick batter.
- Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.
- Step 6
Bake the cake on middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-75 minutes.
- Step 7
Check to see that cake is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
- Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. To release the cake, run a butter knife between the edge of the cake and the pan. Turn onto a large plate.
- Step 9
Allow the cake to cool for 1-2 hours before slicing and serving.
