Pour batter into a greased and floured 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan and bake about 1-1/2 hours, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

In a small mixing bowl blend together sugar and lemon juice. Once the loaf is pulled from the oven, prick top with a fork. Then brush on glaze, a little at a time, as the bread cools, until all the glaze has been used. Serve warm or cold.
