Ingredients
- 2 cups of cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 1 1/2 cups of white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 4 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
Instructions
- Kick the tires and light the fires to 350 degrees F
- Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
- Beat together your butter and sugar…then add in your eggs and vanilla. Then beat the lemon zest into the butter/sugar mixture.
- Whisk together your dry ingredients…
- Squeeze the lemon out until you get 1/4 of a cup.
- Fill the remainder of the measuring cup with milk until you reach an entire cup.
- Combine the butter/sugar mix with the milk/lemon thoroughly, mixing it on medium speed to get it as airy as possible.
- Slowly mix in your flour, by hand, very gently. You don’t want to over-mix the batter. Lift it and fold it over gently, trying not to lose the air you whipped into it the last step.
- When it’s just combined, pour into the two prepared cake pans, evenly dividing the batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the middle springs back when touched or a knife inserted comes out clean.
- While the cakes are cooling ,whip up some Lemon Cake Filling.
- When the filling and cakes are cooled, sandwich them together like this. The lemon filling recipe makes enough for this cake, it may seem like a large amount but it is the best part!
- Whip up some Lemon Buttercream Icing. Before you color it yellow, use some to do a quick crumb coat on the cake.
