How to Make a Delicious Lemon Cake

First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Pan Preparation: Now grab two 8-inch pans and parchment paper. Cut the parchment paper into circles; the size depends on the pan size. Add a little bit of butter to the pans, then place the parchment paper on the pans and add a little bit of flour, spreading it around in the pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients:
Then take a bowl and mix the below items with the mentioned amounts.
A. Flour (300g)
B. Salt (¾ teaspoon)
C. Baking Powder (1½ teaspoons)
D. Baking Soda (½ teaspoon)
Whisk the above items properly and keep them aside.

Make the Butter Mixture:
Then take another bowl and add unsalted butter (226g), softened or at room temperature. Room temperature means when you press the unsalted butter, it goes down and does not fall apart. Now mix it well until it is creamy or pasty.

When it is creamy, add the granulated sugar (300g) and mix it up and down, scraping the bowl down.

Then add the lemon zest (two teaspoons) and mix it for about five minutes or until it is light and fluffy.

After finishing five minutes, collect a quarter cup of fresh lemon juice in a measuring cup. Now pour the lemon juice into the butter mixture and mix it for about two minutes, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Now add the three eggs at room temperature and mix them well. At a time, stop mixing and scrape the bowl down.

Lemon Syrup or Wet Ingredients:
At this moment, combine the buttermilk (240ml) with one cup of fresh lemon juice in a cup.

Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Now add the vanilla (one tablespoon) to the butter mixture and mix it for some time. Then mix the dry and wet ingredients. Firstly mix a little flour, then a little buttermilk, and continue mixing until finished. Then it is ready to go into the two pans.

Now transfer the batter into the two pans. Each pan should contain over 600g. Now use your spatula to level the top side of the batter.

Bake:
Now bake it at 180°C (350°F) for 35 to 40 minutes.

Frosting:
Now take another bowl, add the unsalted butter (226g) and cream cheese (226g), and mix until light and fluffy. Mix for about two minutes and scrape the bowl down. Add the lemon zest (1 tbsp) and mix it for about three minutes.

Then add seven cups of powdered sugar with two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Firstly mix a little sugar, then a little juice, and continue mixing until all the sugar and juice are combined.

After that, add the vanilla and mix well. Now take some frosting to another bowl for cake decoration. If you want to make your cake slightly yellow, you can add a drop of food coloring and mix it properly. Now it is ready to use on your cake layers.

Cool the cake:
Bring the cake pans out of the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to another plate to cool completely.

Decorate the cake:
Now take one cake layer on a plate, spread the buttercream frosting on top, and place the second layer on the first layer. Now spread the frosting on the top and sides of the cake layer.

Level the frosting with parchment paper, and now you can try various designs and patterns on your cake. Now the cake is ready to serve.
