Ingredients

This lemon lime drizzle cake is a perfect balance of sweet and zesty. To make this zesty treat, you will need the following ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons freshly grated lime zest
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

To make this lemon lime drizzle cake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in the lime juice, lemon juice, and zests. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze.

In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of lime juice. To glaze the cake, spoon the mixture over the cake and let it soak in. Enjoy!
