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.

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.
