Directions

1. Step1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
2. Step2
   In a medium bowl, stir flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Step3
   In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice. Pour sour cream mixture into flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes or until golden and thin skewer inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
4. Step4
   Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, stir together remaining 1/3 cup sugar, water and 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear. Set aside.
5. Step5
   Cool bread in pan 10 minutes. Loosen edges of loaf with a knife, invert loaf onto cooling rack to remove bread and turn right-side-up on rack. With thin skewer, poke holes in bread; slowly pour syrup over bread and allow it to soak in. Cool completely.
6. Step6
   Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract. Pour over bread, allowing it to run down sides.
