Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Baking
- 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 in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra lemony flavor, drizzle a lemon glaze over the cooled cake made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
