To begin, grease a flour a standard sized loaf pan.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

To a mixing bowl, add 6 T. butter and 2/3 c. sugar.  Beat for at least 4 minutes to incorporate air which will help create the lightness you need for your cake batter.

Add in 4 egg yolks, one at a time until all are thoroughly incorporated.

Zest and juice two good-sized lemons and add the zest and 1 tsp. of the juice along with 1/2 tsp. lemon extract, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract to the batter, mixing well.  Reserve the remaining lemon juice for the glaze.

In a separate bowl, mix the following dry ingredients:

1 1/4 c. cake flour (all-purpose works well in a pinch)

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/8 tsp. salt.

Add dry ingredients to the batter alternating with 1/3 c. milk and ending with the dry ingredients.

Pour batter into the greased and floured pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes removing from the oven when the top springs back lightly when touched and/or a toothpick comes out clean except a few crumbs.  Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 40 minutes and then remove to finish cooling before glazing.

To make the glaze, sift 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar and whisk in enough lemon juice to make a runny enough glaze to drizzle over the top of the completely cooled cake. Add more sugar or juice as needed to get the right texture.  Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle.
