Cooking Tips:

- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
5. Mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
