Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup buttermilk

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

    In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

      Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

            Fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice until evenly distributed.

              Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top.

                Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
