Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 6-inch ramekin or small loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin or loaf pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and enjoy!
