- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Mix milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl.
- Beat butter and lemon zest with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and beat until fluffy again. Don't let butter get too warm. Beat in eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture, beating batter after each addition. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
