Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon rind.

Step 3

In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture alternately with milk to the creamed shortening mixture.

Step 4

Spread mixture evenly into loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 5

Remove from oven. While still hot, sprinkle sugar over loaf. Then drizzle lemon juice over top. Let cool before slicing.
