Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
-
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.
-
To make the lemon filling, beat the butter, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the cake is completely cooled, cut it in half horizontally. Spread the lemon filling on the bottom half, then place the top half back on.
-
For the lemon butter frosting, beat the butter, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until light and fluffy. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
-
Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
