5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the lemon cakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
