Ingredients
- Lemon Loaf
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons fine grated lemon zest, no white bitter pith
- Lemon Glaze
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar Poly Bag
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
