- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup milk over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is warm. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Beat until light and fluffy.
