Lemon Coconut Loaf




Source of Recipe


Taste of Home Magazine, May/June 1999


Recipe Introduction


This is a lovely quick bread loaf. It tastes better the next day after the flavors have melded.


List of Ingredients




½ cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 ½ tsp. lemon juice
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
½ cup milk
1 ½ cup flour
½ cup flaked coconut
1 tsp. grated lemon peel


Recipe



Cream together the butter, sugar and lemon juice. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the baking powder and salt. Add the milk and flour alternately. Stir in the coconut and lemon peel.

Pour into a greased 8-inch x 4-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack.

Combine 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 TBS lemon juice and brush this glaze over the loaf.
