Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Milk

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the whole milk and limoncello until combined.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the lemon zest.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
