Directions
Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 by 4 inch loaf pan and set aside.
Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Add vanilla extract and salt. With the mixer on low, gradually add flour, beating just until combined, but be careful to not overmix.
Bake for about 1 hour (until a toothpick can be inserted in the center of the cake and comes out clean).
Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack, and turn upright to cool.
Brush the warm cake with 1/8 cup of Meyer Lemon Infused Simple Syrup using a pastry brush.
