Key Lime Dessert Bread

• 2/3 c unsalted butter, room temperature
  
• 2 c granulated sugar
  
• 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  
• 3 T Key lime juice
  
• Zest of 3 Key limes
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 3 c all-purpose flour
  
• 2-1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1 c whole milk
  

Glaze

• 3 T Key lime juice
  
• 2/3 c granulated sugar
  

Prepare two loaf pans by greasing well with butter or oil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add in the eggs and beat together well. Pour in the Key lime juice, zest, and vanilla extract and combine well. Set aside.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add a little of the milk into the dry mixture, then add a little of the creamed butter and egg mixture, and then alternate the additions until all combined into a batter.

Divide into the two loaf pans and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until cakes are firm and nicely browned.

Mix together the 3 tablespoons Key lime juice and the sugar. Spoon mixture over the baked breads. Cool for 15 minutes, then remove from loaf pans. Wrap, and store for about 24 hours. Slice, and serve.
