Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and extracts and beat until combined. Add dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Add milk, lemon juice, and zest, until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour into 2 greased and lined 8" round pans and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only fine crumbs.
Allow to cool completely before decorating.
