In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the sour cream, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
This lemon loaf is delightful on its own, but can be enhanced with a simple glaze or served with whipped cream. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a couple of days or refrigerate for about a week.
