Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Limoncello liqueur
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- Juice of 2 lemons (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or two for a layered cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the Limoncello. Start with the flour and end with it, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Remove it from the pan and then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cake is cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top and let it set for a bit. Cut into slices and enjoy that refreshing citrus flavor!
