In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside—this base ensures a light, fluffy loaf texture.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light. Add sour cream, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Pour into a greased 9x5” loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 50–55 minutes.
Let the loaf cool completely. Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice to form a glaze. Pour over the cooled loaf for a signature finish.
Slice and enjoy your homemade lemon loaf with coffee or tea. Bright citrus flavor and tender crumb make it a true Starbucks-style treat.
