Pecan Lemon Loaf
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Glaze
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and lemon extract. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Fold in pecans and lemon zest. Spoon into prepared pan. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Make the glaze by combining the lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved; pour over warm bread. Cool completely on wire rack before removing from pan.
