Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time.
Gradually mix in the sifted cake flour and sweetened condensed milk until just combined. Stir in vanilla and lemon extracts.
Pour batter into a prepared loaf or Bundt pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
