🥘Ingredients

For the Cake

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

For the Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray and dust lightly with flour, tapping out the excess.
3In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
5In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
6Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
7Mix on low speed just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
8Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
9Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
10While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
11The glaze should be thick but pourable.
12Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
13Then turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
14Once cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides.
15Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

This pig licking cake recipe is always a good idea for any occasion because it is simple, delicious, and loved by everyone. I make it for family gatherings and it disappears fast every time.

The combination of moist cake and sweet topping is hard to beat. For storage, keep the cake covered at room temperature for up to two days.

To reheat, pop a slice in the microwave for 10 seconds or warm it in a low oven. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

It also works great as a breakfast coffee cake the next morning.
