Lemon Crème Bread

½ cup butter, softened
1¼ cups sugar
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
2¼ cups all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 (5½ oz.) can evaporated milk
¼ cup water
½ cup pecans, chopped
2 tbs. Grated lemon rind
1/3 cup sugar
¼ cup lemon juice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream butter, sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each one. Mix together flour, baking powder and the salt, and add alternately with milk and water, blending well after each addition. Fold in nuts and lemon rind. Pour into a greased and floured 9x5x3" loaf pan. Bake at 350°F about 1 hour or until golden brown. Stir sugar with lemon juice until dissolved. Drip over hot loaf. Let stand in pan for 30 minutes, and finish cooling on a wire rack.
