                                                          Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake
                                                          for about 50 (+) minutes, or until a cake tester
                                                          placed in the center of the loaf comes out
                                                          clean.

                                                          Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and
                                                          remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a small pan
                                                          until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is
                                                          clear. Set aside.
                                                          When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the
                                                          pan for 10 minutes before flipping out onto a
                                                          cooling rack. Carefully place on a baking rack
                                                          over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm,
                                                          pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake
                                                          and allow it to soak in (a pastry brush works
                                                          great for this, as does using a toothpick to
                                                          make tiny holes that draw the syrup in better).
                                                          Cool
