3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
6. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the cakes are cool, spread the Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake.
