Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mixing
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between them until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
