lemon cake

🥣 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  • Grease and line a 9×13-inch pan or two 9-inch round pans.

2️⃣ Make the Cake Batter

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
  4. Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  5. Gradually mix in dry ingredients, alternating with milk, until smooth.

3️⃣ Bake

  • Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
  • Bake 35–40 minutes (round pans) or 45–50 minutes (9×13 pan), until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

4️⃣ Optional Lemon Glaze

  1. Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over cooled cake for extra zing and sweetness.

5️⃣ Serve

  • Slice and enjoy as-is, or with whipped cream or fresh berries.

💡 Tips

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix — keeps the cake light and fluffy.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, add ½ tsp lemon extract to the batter.
