  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, and sugar on low speed for 10 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring thorough blending. Gradually mix in the flour mixture and milk. Stir in vanilla and lemon extracts for added flavor.
  • Transfer the batter into the pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 1 hour, then transfer to a cake rack to cool for at least 3 hours.
