With lemon, walnuts and a center of sweetened cream cheese, this lovely loaf is a tempting holiday treat. I like making an extra one to wrap up and give as a gift to a friend or neighbor.Linda Evancoe-Coble, Leola, Pennsylvania Ingredients:

1/3 cup sugar |
1 egg |
batter: |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |

1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg; set aside.
