Fresh & sweet lemon cake

I dare you to have leftovers with this cake! This cake is the perfect amount of fresh and sweet, and it always makes me want to come back for more! Serve it for Sunday brunch or keep it all for yourself…I personally enjoy it with a cup of coffee in the afternoon 😍

- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 c buttermilk

𝘎𝘭𝘒𝘻𝘦:
- 1.5 c powdered sugar
- 3-4 Tbsp heavy cream

π˜‹π˜ͺ𝘳𝘦𝘀𝘡π˜ͺ𝘰𝘯𝘴:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cream butter and sugar in electric mixer.
3. Keep mixer on medium speed and add eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between.
4. Combine the rest of the wet ingredients in a measuring cup and the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
