Lemon Buttermilk Cake

When you are beginner to baking? You somehow either have to learn by yourself or the other option is learning from your friends Creme Caramel. So, recipe wise, I wasn't deprived, but the technic to baking? I suppose practice makes perfect and my first time to baking this Lemon Buttermilk Cake didn't prove me wrong. I did quite fine. Lemon Buttermilk Cake. Lemony, buttery, soft, moist dessert happiness.

180g sugar
3 eggs
300g all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking bicarbonate
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon zest
200g buttermilk (milk + some vinegar in it)
