Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ cup butter or regular margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
Syrup:
¼ cup lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar

Preparation

1 Preheat Oven 350 degrees: 2 Lightly butter a loaf pan. 3 Sift flour with baking powder and salt; set aside. 4 In a large bowl of electric mixer, at medium speed beat butter with 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat until very light and fluffy. 5 At low speed, beat in flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat just until combined. 6 Stir in lemon peel.  Turn batter into prepared pan. 7 Bake 55-60 minutes, or until cake tester inserted comes out clean. 8 Make syrup:  In small saucepan, combine lemon juice and sugar; cook, stirring, 1 minute, or until syrupy.  Pour evenly over bread as soon as it is removed from oven. 9 Let cool in pan 10 minutes.  Remove to wire rack; let cool completely. 10 This is another delicious recipe from one of my mom’s cookbooks.  I believe I will be cooking from this book for a while. It seems that everything is turning out delicious and is easy to make.
