["1. Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Spray two 8 x 3 x 4 inch loaf pans very well with baking spray (or grease and flour them).", "2.

In a medium size bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder and salt to combine; set aside.", "4. Cream the butter together with sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.", "5. Stir the eggs into the creamed mixture, one at a time, until combined.", "6. Stir in the vanilla, lemon extract, and lemon zest to incorporate.", "7. Gradually mix in the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, in 3 separate additions of each, beating well after each addition.", "8. Stir the melted white chocolate into the batter until thoroughly combined.", "9. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.", "10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.", "11.

Once loaves are cool, prepare the icing by stirring the lemon juice into the powdered sugar with a fork until smooth.", "13.
