Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease a 10-inch bundt pan. Dust it with flour and set aside.

Step 2

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar until well blended, pale, and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.

Step 4

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk. Stir with a spatula gently until just combined.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon juice and zest, then pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, loosen the cake from the edge and turn it onto a wire rack to cool.

Step 7

To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed with more sugar or lemon.

Step 8

When the cake is cool, dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with the glaze, if using. Then slice, serve, and enjoy!
