Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Mixing Wet Ingredients

  1. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Eggs and Flavorings

    Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Combining and Baking

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Do not over-mix.

  2. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 7

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lemon slices if desired before slicing and serving.
