How To Make The Loaf

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil spray and line a 9X5-inch pan, then brush melted butter inside the pan. Set it aside.
  • Place the sugar in a bowl and add both lemon and lime zest. Massage the mixture. This helps to release the zest oil and aroma.
    1 cup Sugar, 1 tablespoon Lemon zest, 1 teaspoon Lime zest
  • Set the mixer on the paddle attachment and beat the butter, oil, and sugar mixture for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale.
    ¼ cup Butter, ½ cup Oil
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each one.
    3 Eggs
  • Add the extracts and mix well.
    2 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon Lemon extract
  • Add the sour cream and mix well.
    ¾ cup Sour cream
  • Juice the same lemon that you used its zest and add the juice to the batter.
    2 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • In a separate bowl, sift the dry ingredients and add them to the batter in two additions.
    2 cup All-purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
  • Pour the batter into the lined pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. The top of the loaf will crack open. The loaf is ready when an insert comes out with just a few crumbs.
  • Let the loaf cool down in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer to the cooling rack to cool completely.

How To Make The Glaze

  • Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the powdered sugar and mix well. Melt the butter and add to the above mixture, and mix well.
    1 cup Powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract, 2 tablespoon Lemon juice, ½ tablespoon Butter
  • Pay attention to the consistency of the mixture. It should have the consistency of honey. If the mixture is too stiff, add more lemon juice, one teaspoon at a time. If it is too runny, add more powdered sugar, one teaspoon at a time.
  • Pour the glaze over the cool loaf.
