Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
1 lemon
1 tsp lemon extract (optional)
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Zest lemon and set rind aside. Squeeze juice from the lemon into a small bowl and combine with 1/4 cup of sugar. Set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in walnuts and lemon rind. In another bowl, cream butter and 1 cup of sugar together. Add egg, beating until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until light and smooth. Add dry ingredients, alternating with milk until the batter is well combined and scoop into a small, greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 F for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and drizzle reserved lemon juice over loaf. Leave in pan until cooled and then remove and wrap in plastic wrap, overnight if possible (increases the moisture of the loaf)
