Sift together 1½ cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and the grated rind of 1 large lemon.
Cream ½ cup margarine with 1 cup sugar. Blend in 2 eggs, and beat until light and fluffy.
Combine juice of ½ lemon with enough milk to make ½ cup of liquid.
Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with milk & lemon juice (3 dry additions, 2 liquid additions).
Bake in greased loaf pan for 60-70 minutes at 350°F. Cool 5 minutes. Drizzle with ¼ cup sugar combined with juice of ½ lemon. Cool completely, then remove from pan.

Mmmmmmmmmm
This sounds so good. I wish lemons were cheap where I live.
