Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.

In another mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar until it’s nice and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, blending it all together beautifully.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk until everything is just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Once baked, let it cool.

For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth, and drizzle over your cooled loaf.

Allow the glaze to set before slicing—you want this loaf to shine!
