  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, until fully combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
