Lemon Cake
Method
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Flavorings
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
