Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon lemon or orange extract

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

grated rind of 1 large lemon (or use 1/2 teaspoon lemon oil)

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Topping

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Directions

The Batter: Combine sugar, butter, extract and juice. Beat in eggs, one at a time, till smooth.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the wet ingredients alternately with the milk. Add the lemon rind (or oil) and pecans (if using).

Pour batter into a greased 4 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

The Topping: Dissolve sugar in lemon juice over low heat. Pierce top of hot loaf in several places with a sharp knife. Pour topping over crust. Let loaf cool in pan for 1 hour. Remove from pan, wrap in foil and let sit for 24 hours for flavors to mature.

Finally! A lemon bread recipe that doesn't use a lemon cake mix! I've had such a hard time finding a from scratch recipe and the ones I have found seem more like a pound cake. I will absolutely be trying this out. Great post.
