Ingredients
1
cup
butter
1
cup
sugar
4
eggs
1
tablespoon
vanilla
1
lemon
juiced and zested
2
cups
flour
1/2
teaspoon

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
With a hand mixer or electric mixer, whip the butter until loosened, about 30 seconds.
Add the sugar, whip again until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whipping for about 1 minute between additions.
Whip until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
Add the vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and flour.
Mix gently, until just combined.
Spray a single loaf pan. I use standard size loaf pans, either 9×4 inches or 10×5 inches.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan.
Bake for about 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
