How to Make Lemon Cream Delight

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar (optional) and serving. Enjoy!
