Simple Lemon Cake

Step 1

Line an 8 or 9-inch pan with parchment paper, then preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

To make the cake, in a large bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and organic sugar. Mix it until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Next, add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. It is advised to add the eggs one at a time to ensure that they are all well-blended.

Step 4

Add in the vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and fresh lemon zest to the mixture. Mix well and set the bowl aside.

Step 5

In another medium-sized bowl, add the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk until well-combined.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients mixture. Mix until well-combined, then add the sour cream.

Step 7

Pour into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. You can check your cake if it is done by sticking in a toothpick or a cake tester (if you have them). Once it comes out dry, your cake is ready.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool for about 15 minutes.
