Once the bread is cooled, spoon the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. (2 minutes)
For a more intense lemon flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter.
Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch.
If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute pecans or almonds.
Make sure your butter is properly softened for easy creaming.
Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
