Italian Breakfast Lemon Loaf

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Grease and flour a 9x5x3” loaf pan.
• Put the eggs in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until they are pale yellow and thickened. (This takes a few minutes.).
• With the mixer running, gradually add the sugar and then the oil in a slow, steady stream.
• In a small bowl, stir milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest together and add to batter.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together and blend into batter until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan, which should be about two-thirds full.
• Place in oven and bake about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Place the pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
• Loosen loaf and turn out onto the rack.
• Turn loaf upright and let cool completely.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar or you can make a lemon glaze and drizzle over.
