In a mixing bowl with hand-held electric mixer, cream 1 cup butter and

about
5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition
and scraping down side of bowl frequently. Blend in lemon zest. Add flour
mixture
to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, adding each in 3
additions. Scrape sides of bowl frequently. Pour batter into prepared cake
pan;
bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a cake tester or
wooden pick inserted near the center of cake comes out clean. Cool in pan
10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine lemon glaze ingredients in a bowl, blending
until smooth. Carefully turn cake out onto a platter; drizzle evenly with
glaze.
Serves 12 or more, depending on size of servings.
