5. Mix Wet Ingredients:

Combine buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla in a small bowl.

6. Combine Mixtures:

Alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients into the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry. Mix just until combined.

7. Bake:

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool & Glaze:

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Once completely cooled, whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cake. Top with lemon slices if desired.

 Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the brightest flavor.

  • Let the glaze sit for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
