This lemony load from Donna Carper of South Jordan, Utah is so luscious it's almost a dessert! The bread's pound cake-like texture gets an unexpected twist from sweet chewy coconut.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
GLAZE:
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in the coconut and lemon zest.
2. Pour into a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; brush over loaf.
