Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 8x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the sugar and shortening together; add the eggs and mix well.
- Sift the dry ingredients together and add ½ to creamed mixture. Mix, next add the milk, then the rest of the dry ingredients. Stir in the lemon zest.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour (or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean). Remove the loaf from pan and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Poke holes all over top of cake with a skewer.
- In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar and the lemon juice until sugar has dissolved (warm briefly in the microwave if the sugar is not dissolving).
- Spoon over the top of the lemon bread and let it soak into the bread. Let the bread cool completely before serving.
