1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Add Eggs and Flavorings
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool and Drizzle
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle with a lemon glaze made from lemon juice and powdered sugar if desired.
