Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
• For the glaze:
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until incorporated. Add the buttermilk, vanilla, lemon zest, and thyme and whisk until combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until a thick glaze forms. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with extra thyme leaves, if desired.
