In a large bowl beat white sugar, butter, and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon extract, orange extract, nutmeg, and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and beat until smooth. Pour batter into a greased and floured 12-cup tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees (F) for about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until golden brown and wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. With a metal spatula, loosen cake from pan and invert onto wire rack to cool completely. Prepare glaze by combining the sugars and enough water to make a smooth glaze. Add lemon extract and the food coloring. Spread glaze over cake, allowing some to drizzle down the sides. Makes 12 servings.
