Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Whisk into the flour mixture. Set aside.

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
