Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 1 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the lemon peel. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.

  3. Blend the flour mixture into the egg mixture, alternately with the milk, stir just to combine. Fold in the nuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

  4. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.

  5. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons sugar in the lemon juice. After loaf has cooled for 10 minutes, spoon glaze over loaf.

1 - 9x5 inch loaf

Recipe Note

My mother makes this recipe every winter when her lemon tree had ripe fruit. A wonderful gift for friends and neighbors during the Christmas season.
