So good as finger food at a party or with tea!
-Juice 1 lemon and combine with 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl. Set aside until bread finishes baking.
-Grate the rind (zest) of 1 lemon and combine with ½ cup of shredded coconut in a small bowl. Set aside.
-Sift together 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. Set aside.
In a bowl pour a ½ cup of milk to add alternately with dry ingredients. Set aside.
Combine 6 tbsp butter with 1 cup of sugar and 2 eggs in a large bowl.
After the butter, 1 cup of sugar and two eggs are well creamed with electric mixers, put the electric mixer away. Alternately add, by folding motions, the flour mixture and the ½ cup of milk. Then fold in coconut/lemon rind mixture. Bake 350 degrees in a greased loaf pan for about 55 minutes. If the top browns before loaf tests done (a clean toothpick), place foil on top. Top with lemon juice/sugar mix while loaf still is hot from the oven.
Enjoy!
I went out to eat last night and got a lemon cake with raspberries... delicious! Try pouring a little batter and then adding a layer of raspberries. Then pour the rest of your lemon batter - yum!
