    Recipe Introduction


    Make-Ahead Tip:

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup butter
    1 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup key lime yogurt
    1 1/2 teaspoons finely shredded lime peel
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/3 cup chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans, toasted
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    1 tablespoon sugar

    Recipe



    Grease bottom and 1/2" up sides of one 8x4x2"loaf pan or two 7 1/2x3-1/2x2" loaf pans. Set aside.

    Stir in nuts.

    Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and spread evenly.
    Bake in a 350 oven about 45 minutes for 8x4x2" loaf, and about 40 minutes for 7 1/2x31/2x2" loaves, or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center(s) comes out clean. (If necessary, cover loosely with foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking to prevent over browning.

    Place on wire rack set over waxed paper.

    In a small mixing bowl stir together 3 tablespoons lime juice and 1 tablespoon sugar until sugar is dissolved.
