- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- ½ cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup lemon juice

Instructions
To make the lemon bread
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your 9x5" bread loaf pan with floured spray or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, mix sour cream, oil, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Do not overmix or the bread may become too dense.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. Remove and allow to cool about 20 minutes before removing the bread and placing it on a wire rack to continue cooling.
Make the lemon glaze
- Make your lemon glaze by whisking lemon juice and powdered sugar.
- Pour the glaze over the bread, once it is completely cool, then spread to cover.
- Allow to harden for 15-20 minutes and sprinkle more lemon zest on top, if wanted.
