Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
• In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Mix in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
