Steps:
- Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, butter and flour the paper.
- In a measuring cup with a spout, combine the milk and lemon juice. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing for about 30 seconds after each. Scrape down bottom and sides of the mixer to ensure the mixture is well combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the bowl in three additions. Mix until just combined, then use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any large air pockets. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely on a rack before frosting.
- Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: Combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low until combined, then turn the mixer up to medium-high and stream in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Whip the frosting until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, adding additional lemon juice as necessary until frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store leftover cake at room temperature, covered for up to 2 days.

Steps:
- For the White Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prep 3 6" cake rounds (or 2 8" cake rounds) with a wipe of shortening and dust of powdered sugar. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk, vanilla, egg whites, and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.
- Sift in the white cake mix. Stir until just combined (don't overmix!), then divide between prepared cake rounds.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes until center is baked through (don't overbake!). Remove from oven, let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then flip out onto a cooling rack until room temperature. I usually wrap mine in plastic wrap and freeze for at least a day before frosting.
- For the buttercream: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whip up the butter until it's light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides, then add in the vanilla, paste, salt, and heavy cream.
- Slowly add in the powdered sugar until you're desired consistency is reached. Add in more heavy cream if you want to thin it out.
- Turn mixer on a high speed for 2 minutes and whip up the buttercream until it's light and fluffy and lighter in color. Turn the mixer to the lowest speed for about 30 seconds to beat out any air bubbles. Hand stir with a wooden spoon to further beat out any air bubbles.
- Assembly: Tape a 6" cardboard cake board to a 8" cake board and place onto a turntable.
- Pipe on a little buttercream in the center and spread around to act as glue for the first cake round.
- Place on the first cake round in the center, then pipe on about a ¼ inch layer of buttercream. Add on the next cake round and repeat.
- Crumb coat the cake, then freeze for at least 10 minutes.
- Add on the final coat, press sprinkles onto the bottom rim of the cake. Hand place any little sprinkles up the sides.
- Using a 1M Wilton piping tip, pipe on swirls on the top, and top with additional sprinkles.

- Follow the recipe accurately: Baking is a precise process, so it's important to follow the recipe measurements and instructions carefully.

- Test the cake for doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
