Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup butter -- room temperature
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs -- room temperature
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup milk -- room temperature
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1 cup chopped walnuts
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
This was my grandmother's recipe.
Easy and wonderfully sweet recipe. The sugar/lemon juice poured over
the top created a nice sweet crust. I made the recipe as is, no
tweaks, and would make again! It was the perfect texture
Preheat oven to 325F (165C). Grease and flour 2 loaf pans.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
Beat the butter and 2 1/2 cups sugar with an electric mixer in a
large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably
lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time,
allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the
next. Beat in the almond extract with the last egg.
Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until
just incorporated. Fold in the lemon zest and chopped walnuts, mixing
just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are very lightly browned
and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.
Mix the lemon juice with the 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl until the sugar
has dissolved. Pour the lemon glaze over the hot cakes; allow to
stand for 10 minutes before removing cakes from the pans. Cool before serving.
