Cooking Time: 60 min

Total:  75 min

Ingredients

1 cup butter or vegan margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups white rice flour
2 tsp. gluten-free baking powder
4 eggs
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. grated lemon rind

Lemon Glaze
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. lemon rind

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 250 F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl.
3. Add eggs, flour, baking powder, lemon juice and rind to the creamed sugar and mix well with an electric mixer.
4. Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. If the top of the loaf is browning too quickly, simple place a loose piece of parchment paper over top of the loaf.
5. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then remove loaf from pan and place on a wire rack over a plate.
6. To make the glaze, combine sugar, lemon juice and rind in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture has just to come to a boil. Brush glaze over the top and sides of the warm loaf.
7. Allow to fully cool, slice and serve.
