- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and serve.
Notes
Use fresh Meyer lemons for the best flavor. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
