The Easy Lemon Cake

Ingredients :
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1stick) softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon or lime zest
6 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup icing sugar

Directions :
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degree Fahrenheit. Butter a 9-inch baking pan. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy.
2. Add the eggs, one at a time, until just blended after each addition. With mixer at low speed, gradually beat in the dry ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a rack. Dust with the icing sugar. Enjoy!!!
