Ingredients

For the cake:

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the frosting:

1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting, cream together the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
