Directions
Take a large mixing bowl and combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter. Add the eggs and sugar, whisk until smooth.
Using a small bowl, combine the lemon and orange juice with the water. Then add the other 2 mixtures and mix well until smooth and lump free. Turn onto a greased cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for about half an hour.
You can make a quick glaze for the top of the Lemon Velvet Cake by mixng together a couple tablespoons of butter, some water, lemon juice, sugar and vanilla.
