  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  • Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in slightly.
