Key Lime Bread

As you know there is a famous Key Lime Pie but I wanted to do something by trying by creating a bread.

It came out pretty GOOD and tart like lime! I didn't add more glazing but you should add MORE glazing on the top, just for your information.

It's a great to have it for freshly toasted one with butter on it along with a cup of java or tea.


I love to have the slice of that bread for my breakfast along with a cup of tea- YUM





Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 whole lime peel
1/3 cup milk
2 limes, freshly squeezed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil

You can add chopped walnuts (1/2 cup) if you want to.

Just mixed the wet ingredients (milk, eggs, lime peel, freshly squeezed lime juice, vanilla extract and oil.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to mix it altogether. If the batch gets too dry, then add a little bit of milk.

Transfer to a greased 9 in x 5 in loaf pan.

Bake it at 350 for 55 to 60 minutes or until toothpick or a clean knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing the pan on a plate to cool completely.

For glazing,

Couple tablespoons of powdered sugar
Couple of fresh squeezed lime juice

Mix it altogether.. For more glazing, it should be like 4 or 5 limes, depending how much tart you like :D.

Pour the glazing on the top of the cool bread.
