- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 5 eggs eggs
- 3 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind

- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

- 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Beat in the 1/3 cup lemon juice until well blended. Then, beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined after each addition.
Step 5
Pour the batter into a greased 12-cup Bundt cake pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched with a finger (the cake will also slightly pull away from the sides of the pan).
Step 6
Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes; then invert it onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
Step 7
For the glaze: In a small bowl, blend the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
