Lemon Loaf
If you like the taste of lemon you have to try this Lemon Loaf! I got this recipe from Wendy Ness and she stated that this was one of her old time favorites. I can certainly taste why! Not only does the loaf have a lemon flavor in it, but then you make a lemony glaze that gets drizzled over top! This is seriously the best Lemon Loaf I have ever had.

Ingredients
Spray a bread pan with cooking spray.
Cut waxed paper to fit the bottom and
sides of the pan and place in the pan.
Spray the waxed paper with
cooking spray after it’s in place.
In a medium bowl cream the
butter and 1 cup of sugar together.
Add the eggs and milk.
Mix to combine.
Combine the flour,
baking powder and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture
to the butter mixture until
completely mixed in.
Fold in the lemon rind.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven
for 45 – 60 minutes until a toothpick
inserted into the center comes out clean.
After it is out of the oven, continue
to poke the toothpick into the Lemon
Loaf making multiple small holes.
In a small bowl, combine the
lemon juice and the sugar.
Heat it in the microwave a minute to
dissolve the sugar and make the glaze.
Using a spoon, pour the lemon
glaze all over the top of the Lemon
Loaf allowing the glaze to go
into the toothpick holes.
After you pour all of the glaze
over top, let it sit for 10 minutes.
Pull up on the waxed paper removing
the Lemon Loaf from the pan.
Set the Lemon Loaf on a cooling rack.
Carefully peel off the waxed paper.
Serve warm or let cool and
store in an air tight bag.
