Room Temperature Ingredients – Bring butter, eggs, buttermilk, and Greek yogurt to room temperature before beginning. Regular lemons will add a slightly more tangy, zesty flavor to the cake and frosting. If you can’t find Meyer lemons, you can also use regular lemons. Meyer lemons are a cross between regular lemons and mandarin oranges, and the zest and juice is sweet and aromatic. I love baking with Meyer lemons and highly recommend them. Powdered sugar – For perfectly smooth lemon cream cheese frosting!.Use full fat cream cheese at cool room temperature (not softened) for best results. Full fat cream cheese – The frosting is made with butter and cream cheese.Greek yogurt – The creaminess of Greek yogurt helps keep the cake moist.Buttermilk – The acidity helps activate the baking soda, which makes the lemon cake fluffy and light.Eggs – The cake batter uses two large eggs.Vanilla – A splash of pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the cake and frosting. Lemon zest flavors the cake and cream cheese frosting, and lemon juice plus sugar makes a quick lemon syrup to brush over the cake layers.
