Step-by-Step Instructions for Soft and Moist Lemon Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your pan by greasing it with oil or butter and dusting lightly with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil and sugar until combined. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fluffy.
- Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, and add sour cream or yogurt if using. Mix gently until combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture alternately with the milk or buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled cake.
