Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup plus 1-1/2 teaspoons whole milk
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
2 cups cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Confectioners' sugar, fresh peaches, blackberries and mint, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the milk, lemon juice, vanilla, lemon peel and extract. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture, beating well after each addition.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°; bake 45 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with fruit and mint if desired. Yield: 16 servings.
