To make this delicious cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the lemon glaze:

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, make the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
