1 loaf

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Flour
1½ teaspoon Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Marg. or butter; softened
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
***** Lemon Glaze *****
⅓ cup Milk
½ cup Chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons Freshly grated lemon peel
Lemon Glaze:
¼ cup Lemon juice
⅓ cup Sugar

Directions

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. With electric mixer, cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until fluffy. Beat in flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour, just until blended. With wooden spoon, stir in nuts and lemon peel. Pour into well-greased and floured Bread 'n Cake Bake Pan; cover. Place in Crock-Pot. Cover and bake on high setting for 2 to 3 hours or until bread tests done with a wooden pick. Remove pan and uncover. Unmold on cake rack and cool for 10 minutes. Prepare Lemon Glaze. Prick bread with a fork and pour glaze over bread. Serve warm.

Combine lemon juice and sugar in saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute or until syrupy. + I prefer more of a lemon flavor so I just add a couple of Tbls. or so to suit our tastes. ++ I usually use a butter knife and poke larger and longer holes (or poke knife into cake and turn a tiny bit so the lemon juice glaze can get into the cake lower)
