WHATS MY FAVORITE CAKE? OLD SCHOOL LEMON 🍋 DOUBLE LAYER CAKE/SINFULLY DELICIOUS

OLD SCHOOL DOUBLE LAYER LEMON CAKE
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1½ cups granulated sugar (
2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For the Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
7 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
For the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add the sugar and lemon zest and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla then eggs one at a time, scrape down the bowl between additions, and beat until well combined and fluffy.
Stir the buttermilk and lemon juice together.
With the mixer on low speed, add a third of the flour mixture followed by half of the milk mixture. Continue, alternating between the flour and milk, mixing just until combined. Stop and scrape down the bowl occasionally. Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center of the cakes are springy to the touch and the sides are just starting to pull away from the pan. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 15 minutes then invert and cool completely on a wire rack.

For the frosting:

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until creamy and well combined. Add the lemon zest and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the confectioners’ sugar alternating with a little bit of the lemon juice. Stop occasionally and scrape down the bowl. Beat in the vanilla. Once combined, increase the speed to medium-low and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute.

For the Assembly:

Place one layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with 1 cup of frosting, spreading smoothly out to the edges. Top with the second cake layer and spread the remaining frosting all over the outside of the cake.
