Lemon Bread

I often bake this sunshiny-sweet lemon bread when company's due. It has a loaf-like texture.

Cook time:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 2% milk
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs, lemon zest and juice. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.

Pour into a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; immediately drizzle over bread. Serve warm.
