Method
- 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, Meyer lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix just until 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.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, Meyer lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and allow it to drip down the sides.
- Slice the cake into pieces and serve.
Notes
Use fresh Meyer lemons for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
