Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar, divided

2 eggs

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup sour cream

1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest

1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350*

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Fold in pecans and lemon zest.

Pour into a greased 9x5" loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toohpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

In a small sauce pan, combine lemon juice and remaining sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour over warm bread. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pan
