The Loaf
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1/4 cup whole milk
The Glaze
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease a 9″x5″ loaf pan and line with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, add the sugar, lemon zest, and lime zest. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingers until combined throughout, tinted, and fragrant.
- Add the melted butter and mix until combined. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, lime juice, sour cream, and whole milk and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined (don’t overmix!).
- Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow to cool.
- When the loaf is finally cooled, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lime juice, milk, and vanilla extract with a fork until fully combined. Then pour over the loaf, and allow it to set before cutting.
