Cream butter,
shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating
well after each addition.
Sift dry ingredients together. Add vanilla and
lemon extract to milk. Add dry ingredients to sugar and egg mixture,
alternating with liquid, beating just enough to blend, until all ingredients are
combined. Beat batter on medium speed for 5 minutes. Place into greased and
floured pan and place into COLD oven. Bake until a cake tester
inserted in the middle comes out clean.
