Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• ¹⁄₂ cup Buttermilk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
