Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Add vanilla, lemon rind and juice. Sift together dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Pour into greased and floured loaf pan. Bake 350 for 50 to 60 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
Meanwhile, prepare glaze: Dissolve 2 T 10x sugar in 2 T lemon juice. As soon as bread is done baking, poke holes in top of loaf and spoon glaze over hot loaf. Cool 15 minutes. Remove from pan.
Note: you can make lime bread by substituting lime juice and lime rind for the lemon. You can use three small loaf pans; if you do, bake 30 to 40 minutes. Serves 12.
