--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      stick         unsalted butter -- softened
     1/2  cup           sugar
   2                    eggs
     1/2  cup           lemon juice
   2      cups          flour, all-purpose
   1      tablespoon    baking powder
   1      teaspoon      salt
                        rind of 1 lemon -- finely chopped

Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the lemon rind and the eggs,
one at a time, beating well after each is added.

Stir in the lemon juice, then sift in the dry ingredients gradually. Beat
well after each addition until you have a light workable batter.

Pout into a buttered and floured 8-1/2 X 4-1/2 X 2-1/2-inch bread pan and
bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes. Turn out on a rack to cool.


Do not slice until the next day.
