Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 4 drops Yellow food coloring , optional
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter , softened
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups Cream Cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper.
- Combine the milk and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Reduce mixer speed to low speed. Add the flour mixture in 3 portions, alternating with 2 portions of the milk mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of large air pockets.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or the cake is golden brown and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
