Indulge in the tangy sweetness of a Lemon Sour Cream Butter Cake, a delightful treat that combines the richness of butter and the zestiness of lemon. 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.
