Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 4 drops yellow food coloring (, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (, softened)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups Cream Cheese Frosting

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper.
  • Combine the milk and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low speed. Add the flour mixture in 3 portions, alternating with 2 portions of the milk mixture. Mix just until combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of large air pockets.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or the cake is golden brown and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
