How to Make Lemon Buttermilk Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the sugar.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing.
