Moist Lemon Cake

This delightful treat is perfect for when you want something sweet but with a tangy twist. Here’s what you need to whip up this masterpiece:

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. This is where the magic will happen!
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This is where you get to show off your whisking skills (or lack thereof!).
In another bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, like a cloud of happiness!
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each - yes, it’s time to put in some elbow grease!
Now it’s time to mix in the buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. You want to avoid over-mixing, unless you want a classic workout. Who said baking couldn’t be a full-body experience?
Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out (as best as you can, unless a lumpy cake is your thing!).
Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Just know that while it’s baking, the smell will make you feel like a culinary genius.
Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The waiting game is the toughest!

And there you have it! Your very own Homemade Starbucks Lemon Loaf, minus the barista apron and hipster coffee. Perfect for any occasion or just because you want to relish in the glory of lemony goodness. Enjoy!
