Directions
Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Butter and line bottom of loaf pan with parchment paper cut to fit. Cream the butter and sugar, and add the lemon zest. Add the eggs one at a time with a tablespoon of the flour for each. Then gently mix in the rest of the flour, Almond flour and, finally, the lemon juice.  Place batter into greased prepared pan. Sprinkle with superfine sugar (about 2 tablespoons should do it) as it goes into the oven, and bake for 1 hour or until a cake-tester comes out clean.
