âI first tasted this deliciously different bread at a friend's house, and she graciously shared the recipe with me,â says Joan Hallford of North Richland Hills, Texas. âIt's so easy to make and absolutely yummy!â Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
2 tablespoons grated lime peel |
2 tablespoons key lime juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
glaze: |
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 to 2 tablespoons key lime juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Beat in lime peel, juice and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in walnuts.
2. Transfer to two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Bake 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
3. Combine confectioners' sugar and enough lime juice to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over warm bread. Cool completely. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
