Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter until creamy, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the sugar and beat for 2 minutes until creamed, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Step 5
Turn the mixer down to low speed and slowly add the eggs one at a time. Turn off the mixer.
Step 6
Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat on medium speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.TIP - The mixture may look curdled before adding the flour to the batter. This is normal and it will smooth itself out after you mix in the flour.

Step 8
Evenly spread the batter in the greased loaf pan and bake for 50-65 minutes.

Set the cake on a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before icing.
Step 10

Step 11
Pour the glaze over the top of the cake. Let the cake sit for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the glaze to set. Serve and enjoy!
