Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 5 x 9" loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together at medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4-6 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Beat on medium-high speed until combined.
- Scoop in about one-third of the flour mixture and mix until almost combined, then add half the buttermilk and mix until combined.
- Repeat with another third of flour mixture and then the last half of the buttermilk, ending with the last third of the flour until fully combined.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on it.
- Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes in the pan.
- Stir together the lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar for the lemon syrup.
- Carefully flip the loaf pan, and transfer the cake to a cooling rack, then brush the syrup on the top of the cake while it’s still warm.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- When the cake is cooled, combine all the icing ingredients.
- The icing should be thick and not runny. Pour icing over cake and let dry before serving.
