Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1 cup salted butter soft
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup salted butter soft
  • 3 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice or more if needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl for 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each one.

  • Spread into a well greased and floured 12 cup Bundt cake pan or tube pan.
  • Bake at 325° for about 1 hour or till a toothpick comes out clean. (Don't over bake or the cake will be dry.)
