1. Preheat oven to 325. Butter and flour a 9x5 loaf pan. In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and stir to combine 2. With electric mixer on medium speed or in food processor fitted with metal blade, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat about 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla and zests and beat until incorporated. Gradually add flour mixture alternating with the milk and lemon juice until just blended.
