I often bake this sunshiny-sweet bread when company's due. It has a pound cake-like texture.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 2% milk
glaze:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, lemon juice and peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
2. Pour into a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
3. Combine glaze ingredients. Remove bread from pan; immediately drizzle with glaze. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 loaf (12 slices).
