Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate small bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and lemon zest with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and airy. Be careful not to overheat the butter. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed in before adding the next. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk mixture, beating until just combined after each addition. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 65-75 minutes. (70 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider making a simple lemon glaze by whisking together powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzling it over the cooled cake.
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for a smooth and creamy batter. If you forget to take it out in advance, you can microwave it in short bursts, being careful not to melt it.
To prevent the top of the cake from browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
