Let's get started!
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease the three princess cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, and lemon extract until doubled in volume, 2 to 3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, milk and buttermilk.
- Mix the flour mixture into the egg mixture until well combined, then whisk in the milk mixture until smooth.
- Fill each pan two-thirds full with batter (using about 3 ½ cups per pan) and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then turn out of the pans onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Level off the top of each cake with a cake leveler or a large serrated knife.
- Stack the cakes in ascending order, leveled side down, with a thin layer of frosting in between the cake layers.
- Crumb coat the cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Time to decorate!
