- In a measuring cup, stir together the milk and 1 tablespoon juice; let stand for 15 minutes.
- Preheat to 325F; set rack in middle.
- Generously butter a 10-inch bundt pan, and dust with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- In a stand mixer bowl, with the paddle attachment, beat the 3/4 cup butter with the shortening at medium-high speed until smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- At medium speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just incorporated, then beat in the vanilla; scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Beat in the dry ingredients and buttermilk in three alternating batches, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
- At low speed, beat in 3 tablespoons juice.
- Scape the batter into the bundt pan, and use a spatula to smooth the surface.
- Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake rest on a rack for 30 minutes, then turn out on a cake stand to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar with lemon zest, 2 1/2 tablespoons juice, melted butter, and pinch of salt.
- Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Let stand 20 minutes until the glaze is set.
- Cut into wedges, and serve.
