Follow these steps to make Paul Hollywood’s Lemon Bliss Cake effortlessly:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate measurement jug, mix the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
6. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk mixture. Stir until just combined.
7. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 15 minutes. After that, transfer the cakes to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Glaze (optional): For an extra touch, mix powdered sugar with a bit of lemon juice to create a glaze, if desired.

This will ensure that you create a wonderfully light and flavorful cake that captures the iconic essence of lemon bliss!
