Ingredients
Cake:
1½

2
tsp
baking powder
½
tsp
salt
1
cup
sour cream
1
cup
granulated sugar
3
large eggs
1

½

⅓
cup

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and sugar.
Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.
Next, fold the vegetable oil and lemon juice into the batter, making sure it's fully mixed.
Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick placed in the center of the cake comes out clean
Let sit in the pan for at least 10 minutes on the counter. Then, remove onto a baking rack.
Prepare the glaze: stir together the powdered sugar and the lemon juice. If you want a thinner glaze, add more lemon juice.
