Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar (for cream cheese mixture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add sour cream, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter and gently swirl with a knife. Top with the remaining batter.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, drizzle a lemon glaze over the cooled bread.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
