• 2  teaspoons  grated lemon zest
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup  low fat margarine
• 3⁄4 cup white sugar
• 2  large  egg whites
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 cup low-fat milk

• Glaze

• 1 1⁄4 cups icing sugar
• 2  tablespoons lemon juice
• 2  tablespoons  low fat margarine

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray sides with cooking spray ( i use the Becel spray).
2. In a medium bowl blend flour, cornmeal, lemon zest, baking powder and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat margarine with a mixer until fluffy. Gradually add in sugar, then beat in egg whites one at a time (scrape down sides of bowl as needed). Stir in vanilla.
