Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- 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.

Very easy to make. Also very dense. Lightly lemony. Next time I will add the juice of one lemon. The outside browned too much for baking 68 minutes and had to cut off. Maybe it was the glass loaf pan.

I used the juice from one lemon as well as the zest. It brought this pound cake to another level of deliciousness.

A very poorly written recipe. The person didn't say to use the lemon juice but called for 2 large lemons. I had to guess so used the juice from just one of them, along with the zest. They also didn't give novice cooks how to test for doneness.

Light, delicious, lemony. I halved the batter to make 2 smaller cakes & added some dried cranberries to one batter which was absolutely delicious with the extra tang of the cranberries. As organic lemons are expensive where I live, I washed them in organic vege wash to remove the pesticide etc so that the zest would be “clean”. I will be making this over & over again for self & family & friends!

It is really good, the taste is yummy, and I used oil instead of butter and it is a little dry but tasty.
