Add dry ingredients in batches; then add 1/4 cup lemon juice. Pour into prepared pan and bake 60-75 minutes, or until raised in the center and toothpick comes out dry and almost clean. Let sit in pan for about 10 minutes and then turn out onto a cake rack. Peel off parchment paper.Glaze:1/3 c. sugar1/3 c. lemon juice Combine sugar and lemon juice.
