Recipe by: Jo Anne Merrill Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a very large
bowl, cream butter (or margarine) until very light; slowly add sugar until
mixture is very light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. In another
bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Add flour mixture
alternately with buttermilk to butter mixture. Begin and end with flour.
Mix in lemon peel and juice. Pour batter into greased and floured 10-inch
tube or 12-inch bundt pan. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until toothpick
inserted in center comes out clean. Place pan on rack for 10 minutes to
cool. Turn cake out of pan onto rack. Spread with as much lemon icing as
the cake can absorb (about a third of the icing) Allow cake to cool
completely then frost with remaining icing. ICING: Blend butter and sugar
together in a medium bowl. Mix in peel and juice, 1 tablespoon at a time,
until the frosting is of spreading consistency. If the entire amount of
jucie is used, the icing will be thin and possibly difficult to spread
evenly, however a very tangy frosting greatly enhances the flavor of the
cake. This cake was a second place winner at the Del Mar fair. Jo Anne
