Steps:
- Add the powdered sugar, zest, juice, and salt to a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle immediately over the completely cooled cake or store glaze in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir well before using.
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375 degrees F.
- Coat a 10-inch aluminum tube pan or 2 (9 by 5-inch) loaf pans with 1 tablespoon of butter and dust with 2 tablespoons of the flour.
- Combine the remaining 12 ounces of butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and cream for 6 minutes on medium speed, using the paddle attachment. Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. With the mixer running at lowest speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Again stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. This will take approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds.
- With the mixer on the lowest speed add the flour in 3 installments, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour, making sure each portion is fully incorporated before adding the next. After the final addition, beat the batter for 30 seconds on medium speed until almost smooth.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared pan(s), dividing evenly if using 2 pans. Bake for 1 hour in a tube pan or 40 minutes in loaf pans, until the internal temperature reaches 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. The crust will be golden brown and spring back when pressed, but the crack around the center will appear moist.
- Remove the cake from the oven to a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan(s) and cool on the rack. Store the cake on the rack covered with a tea towel for up to 3 days.

Tips:
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and make it easier to work with. This will prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a citrus zester: A citrus zester is a tool that removes the zest (the outer peel) of citrus fruits. This is a great way to add citrus flavor to your cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and set in the center. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will be dry.
- Make the glaze while the cookies are baking: This will give the glaze time to cool slightly before you dip the cookies in it.
