Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
2 cups powdered sugar
320g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/3 cup of butter with 1/2 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Egg:
Beat in the egg until well combined.
4. Incorporate Sour Cream:
Add 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix until smooth.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1/2 cup of self-raising flour.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake tender.
7. Add Lemon Zest and Juice:
Fold in 2 tablespoons of lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until evenly distributed.
8. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Cool the Cake:
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare Lemon Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix 2 cups of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
11. Glaze the Cake:
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
12. Serve:
Cut the cake into slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious Lemon Sour Cream Cake!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before starting to make it easier to cream with the sugar.

- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.

- To avoid lumps, sift the powdered sugar before mixing it with the other ingredients.

- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving to enhance its texture and flavor.
