Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
