Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Spray an 8×4-inch loaf pan with baking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper that covers the bottom and long sides, with an inch or so extending past the top of the pan (these will be the "handles" to lift the loaf out of the pan).
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar until light-colored and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat in well after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together well the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, starting with ⅓ of the flour, ½ of the sour cream, ⅓ of the flour, the last of the sour cream, then finally the last of the flour.
- Scrape into the prepared 8×4-inch loaf pan and level batter. Bake in a preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then run a knife along the short ends and use the parchment paper edges to lift and remove from pan. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
- While the loaf is still a little warm, prepare the glaze, adding enough lemon juice to make a pourable glaze. Place a baking tray under the cooling rack to catch any drips and spoon glaze slowly over top of loaf, allowing it to drip down the sides a bit. Cool completely, then slice and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together more smoothly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
- For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add more milk.

This vanilla glazed lemon loaf cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a bright lemon flavor that is perfectly complemented by the sweet vanilla glaze. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
