1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl of electric mixer, cream
together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in lemon juice,
lemon rind, and vanilla.
2. Add eggs in 3 additions, mixing well after each.
3. Sift flour into butter mixture. Mix to blend thoroughly.
4. Spoon batter into greased 10-inch fluted or plain tube pan. Bake until a
skewer inserted in center comes out clean (1 hour to 1 hour and 15
minutes). Cool on wire rack 15 to 20 minutes before turning cake out of
pan.
* Timesaver Tip: Cake batter can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
Wrap pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Label and date. Freeze at 0
degrees F up to 4 weeks. Do not thaw. To bake, remove foil and bake at 350
degrees F until a skewer inserted in center comes out clean (about 1 hour
and 15 to 20 minutes). If cake starts to get too brown, cover loosely with
aluminum foil the last 30 minutes of baking. Cool on wire rack 15 to 20
minutes before turning out of pan.
