1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 1 9x5 inch

loaf pan.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light

and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each

addition, then stir in the lemon peel. In a separate bowl, sift together

the flour, salt and baking powder.

stir just to combine. Fold in the nuts; mixing just enough to evenly

combine. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
