In a small bowl, stir together the milk and lemon juice. Then set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar together with a hand held or stand up mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Slowly add in the eggs into the mixture one of time mixing in between each egg. Then stir in the lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda.

Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the top, slice and enjoy!
