Ingredients
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup buttermilk
– Zest of 2 lemons
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 1 cup powdered sugar (for the glaze)
– 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (for the glaze)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Whisk
– Rubber spatula
– Loaf pan
– Cooling rack
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your loaf pan, allowing it to be effortless when it comes time to remove the cake. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. I usually whisk these dry ingredients together first, ensuring they are evenly distributed before I introduce my wet ingredients. My kitchen starts to smell like freshly baked bread already!
