In a small bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, whisk to combine and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl, combine egg and sugar, whisk 2 minutes or until pale yellow and thickened. While whisking, carefully drizzle in Lemon Oil until thoroughly combined.

Gently fold in half the dry ingredients, then add the buttermilk followed by the other half of the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6

Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack. Carefully invert the cake onto the cooling rack, turn right side up and cool to room temperature.
