Ready In
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk sour cream, white sugar, canola oil, eggs, 3 tablespoons limoncello, and lemon zest together in a large bowl.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl. Add flour mixture to sour cream mixture; stir with a wooden spoon until batter is just combined. Pour batter into prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 33 to 35 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Whisk confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons limoncello liqueur together in a bowl until glaze is thin and smooth. Spread glaze over the top of the cake. Cool cake completely before slicing.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- For a double recipe, use 9x13-inch pan and bake about 40 minutes before checking for doneness.
- You can substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream.
- If the top of the cake browns too fast, lightly cover with foil.

This is a very nice cake. I did add a tsp. of lemon extract after reading reviews and I will do that when I make the cake again. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars (because I made...
