Equipment

  • 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet
  • Stand Mixer
  • paddle attachment

Ingredients
  

FOR THE CAKE

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk at room temperature

FOR THE FROSTING

  • 2 sticks salted butter at room temperature

Instructions
 

CAKE PREPARATION

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest and work the zest into the sugar with your fingers.
  • Add the eggs to the sugar mixture and whisk until foamy and lighter in color, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and lemon juice.
  • Gradually stir in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, whisking well after each addition.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until the cake is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Let cool completely in the pan on a rack, at least 1 hour.

FROSTING PREPARATION

  • Beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until creamy.
