In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Lightly grease the bread pan of your bread machine or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Pour the batter into the bread machine pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Select the 'Quick Bread' or equivalent program on your bread machine and start the cycle.
Allow the bread machine to bake the bread according to the set program. The cycle typically takes approximately 2 hours.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the pan and let the bread rest for 10 minutes.
Run a knife around the edges to loosen the bread and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the sour cream lemon bread as is, or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
