Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in lemon juice, buttermilk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once the cakes are done, let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before taking them out from the pans and placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Beat until smooth and well combined.
Once the frosting is ready, cover the cooled cake layers with the frosting.
I await your comments! Enjoy!
