• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment whip together butter, sugar and lemon zest until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time then mix in vanilla. If you are using beaters and a bowl whip until pale and fluffy.
• Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix just until combined then add in 1/2 the sour cream and mix just until combined, repeat with flour and sour cream once more then end by mixing in the last 1/3 of the flour mixture and mixing just until combined (scrape down bowl to make sure it's evenly combined).
