How to make lemon cake:

Preheat oven to 350°. Put cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and grated lemon rind into mixer bowl. Turn mixer on low and mix 10 seconds to aerate. Add butter; beat 30 seconds or until well incorporated. Add eggs, lemon juice and extract. Beat until mixture is light in color, about 2 minutes. Spoon into a greased and floured tube or Bundt pan (8-inch is better). Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the cake springs back lightly when pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.

Glaze: Stir together 1 cup confectioners sugar and 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Spread on cooled cake.
