Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in lemon zest and juice.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
