Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 and grease and flour a 9x5 loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine salt, baking soda, flour and baking powder and mix well.
In a medium bowl, combine eggs, vanilla extract, lemon extract, butter, sugar and lemon juice with a mixer until well mixed.
Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
Add the oil and lemon zest and mix again.
Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Towards the end of the cooking time, put your glaze ingredients in a small bowl and wisk together until blended.
Remove cake from oven, pour glaze on top and let cool.
Notes
I like my glaze to stay a little thicker so I let my cake cool slightly before I pour on the glaze.
