Ingredients

cooking spray

3T dry breadcrumbs

3 1/4c all-purpose flour

1/2t baking soda

1/4t salt

1/4c butter, softened

2 1/2c granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350*.

Coat a 10-inch tube pan with cooking spray; dust with breadcrumbs.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; stir well with a whisk. Beat butter in a large bowl at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add granulated sugar and lemon extract, beating until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add grated lemon rind and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; beat 30 seconds. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with sour cream, beating at low speed, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
