Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  4. Add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly into pans and bake 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
