Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth for the frosting.
  11. Whip the heavy cream in another bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  12. Once the cakes are cooled, spread frosting between the layers and on top of the cake.
  13. Serve and enjoy your light, summery dessert!
