Here is a quick easy recipe with basic household baking materials! For buttermilk, you can place a cup of milk out for 10 minutes with 1 TSP of Lemon Juice or white vinegar.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Set milk out and add the teaspoon of lemon juice and set aside for 5-10 minutes for the buttermilk mixture
Cream Butter and sugar in a bowl and whisk until mixed. Add eggs one at a time and allow each to mix thoroughly. In a side bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar batch and mix. Add buttermilk, and vanilla. Grease a 9×5 pan and pour mixture into the pan. Bake at 325 degrees until golden brown.
Enjoy!
