In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter with electric mixer for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, beating for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well. Add lemon zest and mix well.
Alternating with buttermilk and lemon juice., add the dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, mixing well after each.
Pour half of the batter into bowl you had flour mixture in (saving on dishes here). Add yellow food coloring, two drops at a time to get desired shade. Remember, the color will be stronger after baking.
Add pink food coloring to the second batter, repeat as with the yellow batter.
Pour pink batter into prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly. Pour yellow batter over the top and spread evenly.
Bake cake for 45 to 50 minutes OR until the top is golden brown and the toothpick inserted into few places comes out clean.
Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cutting board. Cool completely.
To make the glaze, divide powdered sugar into two small bowls. Add one teaspoon of milk to each bowl until you reach drizzling consistency. Add food coloring if desired.
