Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon )
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350 ° F. Grease and flour 8 x 4-inch baking pan.
  • Make batter: Combine flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Beat eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, oil and lemon zest together in medium bowl. Add the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until just combined. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake: Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Let it cool for 5 minutes in the loaf pan then remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack.
  • Make lemon syrup: While the bread is baking, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice (1 lemon) in small, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and a light syrup is formed.
  • Top bread with lemon syrup: While the bread is still warm, poke numerous holes using a wooden skewer, piercing all the way to the bottom. Slowly drizzle the hot lemon syrup over the bread (syrup will soak into the bread). Finish cooling the bread on wire rack.
