For the Cake
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt® pan.

Beat in vanilla, lemon peel and orange peel.
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture alternately with yogurt. Beat on low speed just until combined.
Transfer to pan. Bake 55 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and the internal temperature is 200°F - 210°F.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
For lemon glaze: In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar and enough lemon juice to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
