See all
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp fine salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
Ingredient note
Butter is almost all fat and has no fiber, so the amount here (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per serving) leaves very little residue. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 large lemons)
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lemon zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Ingredient note
Low Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but juice carries only a trace of the fruit's fiber, and just a small amount of lemon juice is used here, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
Ingredient note
Plain sour cream has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid sour cream, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Ingredient note
Low Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but juice carries only a trace of the fruit's fiber, and just a small amount of lemon juice is used here, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lemon zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter, then dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Set aside.
