This cake is incredibly moist, thanks to the addition of sour cream, and is perfect for any occasion from casual get-togethers to more formal celebrations.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- If the glaze is too thick, you can add a tiny amount of water or more lemon juice to reach the desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice the cake and serve it as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be a bit harsher in taste.
- When mixing the batter, do not overbeat as it may result in a denser cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For an extra lemony flavor, consider adding a bit of lemon zest to the batter.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the glaze to ensure it sets properly.
Now that you’ve baked a Lemon Sour Cream Butter Cake, you can enjoy a slice of this luscious treat with friends and family.
