Ingredients

Loaf

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 eggs

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening; lightly sprinkle with flour.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat Loaf ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour in pan; spread evenly.
  • 3
    Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on cooling rack 10 minutes; run metal spatula around edge of loaf to loosen. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • 4
    In small bowl, beat Icing ingredients. Spread icing over top of cooled loaf. Let stand until set.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Fresh lemon juice gives the cake a bright flavor.
  • tip 2
    The icing should be thick enough to spread over the top of the loaf without it dripping too much down the sides. If necessary, beat in more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, for desired consistency.
  • tip 3
    1 medium lemon yields, on average, 3 tablespoons juice and 2 to 3 teaspoons grated zest.
  • tip 4
    Leftover citrus zest or juice? Store tightly wrapped in the freezer for another recipe.
