Baking Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 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 together the unsalted 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 the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour and Bake
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.
Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
