Prep: 15 Minutes

- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan and dust lightly with flour.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar for 4 minutes, or until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the lemon peel and vanilla extract and beat until blended. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the sour cream.
- Place the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on the rack to cool completely.
