Pour into prepared 8×4 pan. I use cooking spray and parchment paper but you can just grease the pan as well. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. It took perfectly 55 minutes for this loaf to be done. And resulted in a beautifully domed loaf.

To finish off this delicious little loaf, you glaze it with a lemon-lime powdered sugar glaze and top with almond slices. For ease, I put the glaze in a plastic bottle. Once the almond slices were applied, I topped with a second helping of the glaze.
