How to Make Lemon Buttermilk Sheet Cake
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.
Grease and flour 13 x 9 inch baking pan. - Add butter to remaining sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and yolk, one at a time, until incorporated. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions of buttermilk mixture, and mix until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. - For the glaze:
Meanwhile, whisk confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice, and buttermilk until smooth. Gently spread glaze over warm cake and sprinkle evenly with reserved sugar mixture. Cool completely, at least 2 hours.
I poked small holes in my cake with a fork. You don't have to...I just wanted some of the glaze to penetrate...
