Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 9-by5-inch loaf pan. Dust with sugar, and tap out excess; set aside. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir together 1 Tbsp lemon juice and milk. Put butter and ¾ cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in eggs and zest. Working in 2 batches, alternate mixing in flour mixture and milk mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together remaining 3 Tbsp sugar and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. Upon removing cake from oven, immediately brush with lemon glaze. Un-mold cake. Brush remaining glaze on top. Garnish with zest.
