Lemon Cake Birthday Cake Recipes
Ingredients
Making a lemon cake birthday cake is easy with just a few simple ingredients. To make the cake, you will need: one and a half cups of all-purpose flour, one teaspoon of baking powder, one teaspoon of baking soda, one-quarter teaspoon of salt, three-quarters cup of butter, one and a half cups of white sugar, three eggs, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one and a half teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and one cup of buttermilk. For the frosting, you will need: one cup of butter, four cups of confectioners’ sugar, two tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Instructions
To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk, stirring until all ingredients are well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix until well blended. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Decorate the cake with lemon slices and other decorations, if desired.

Tips and Variations
For a richer flavor, you can use light brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cake batter for extra lemon flavor. If you want to make a lemon-flavored frosting, use lemon juice instead of the vanilla extract. You can also add a few drops of yellow food coloring to the frosting to make it more festive.
If you want to make a layer cake, double the ingredients and bake in two 9-inch round pans. Make sure to grease and flour both pans before adding the batter. Once the cakes have cooled, spread the frosting between the layers, then spread the remaining frosting over the top of the cake. You can also make cupcakes with this recipe – just fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full and bake for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
