-Spray large tube cake pan with Bakers Joy spray ( a regular bundt pan is too small)
Cream butter and shortening until fluffy and light (I use my stand mixer)
Add eggs 1 at a time blending, then add sugar, milks, extracts, and essential oil and blend well.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt and add to wet ingredients 1 cup at a time and mix well, periodically scraping down sides.
Batter will be quite thick so spread evenly in pan. I usually place mine pan on a sheet of foil in case of spills!
325 degrees for 1hr 15min to 1 1/2hr or until done depending on your oven. Test with cake tester or tooth pick.
While cake is baking, mix up glaze by combining powdered sugar, juice and zest from lemons and essential oil. I just use a wire whisk for this
Test cake with pick or cake tester. Cake is done when pick comes out clean.
IMPORTANT: **When cake is done, turn off oven and leave cake in 10-15 more minutes to form a nice crust.**
Remove from oven and cool in pan on wire rack x 10 min then remove cake to wire rack right side up.
Place foil under rack to catch glaze drips
With a skewer poke several holes in cake and pour or brush glaze over cake. Let it soak in and do a little more until it's like you want! Cool completely
