Buttermilk Cake image

This is my favorite cake, and it is an old family recipe. The citrus glaze makes this cake moist and delicious.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cake, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups flour, plus
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter flavor shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Grease and flour a tube cake pan. The one I use has a removable bottom and a very large center hole.
  • Sift dry ingredients together.
  • Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Mix until just incorporated.
  • Mix in dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  • Stir lemon juice and lemon extract into the buttermilk. Mix into cake batter just until incorporated.
  • Pour cake batter into the prepared tube cake pan, place pan on a half sheet covered with aluminum foil and bake for one hour.
  • While cake is cooking, mix together glaze ingredients.
  • When one hour is up, slowly pour glaze over cake and return cake to the oven for three more minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven and let sit for eight minutes. Then remove from pan.
  • Serve at room temperature. It's best prepared several hours or even a day ahead.
