Knock-off Starbucks Lemon Pound Cake

Someone shared a knock-off recipe of the lemon pound cake from Starbucks. As that's my favorite thing on their entire menu (drinks included), I just had to share!
Pound cake ingredients:
1-1⁄2 C flour
1⁄2 tsp. baking soda
1⁄2 tsp. baking powder
1⁄2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, room temp
1 C sugar
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. lemon extract
1⁄3 C lemon juice
1⁄2 C oil
Icing ingredients:
1 C powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1⁄2 tsp. lemon extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then add eggs, vanilla extract, lemon extract and lemon juice with a mixer until blended.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Add oil and mix well.
Pour into loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool in pan on a rack.
Making the icing: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk and lemon extract with a mixer until smooth.
When loaf is cooled, remove from pan and frost top with icing. When icing has set, slice loaf into slices (should get about 8 good slices).
