Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
• In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with lemon juice and zest.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
