JipJipJooray: I’ve tried this recipe multiple times (https://www.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/5qvtin/copycat_starbucks_lemon_loaf/) and if they’re anything alike, it tastes amazing but make sure not to leave off the icing, or it tastes very blandish. Like a plain lemon donut without glaze.
ryeguy: As someone who doesn’t bake a ton, why are the ingredients added in this order? Why not just add in all the liquid ingredients and then start adding in the solid stuff?
SusieSlaughter: That cake is burnt on the bottom.
I am accepting downvotes.
anonymous_coward69: Neat. How about a copycat of their cheese danish. Now that’s good eating.
DevoidSauce: I thought that adding actual lemon juice actually destroys the gluten bonds, making it less of a sponge cake and more of a crumbly, tight texture. Would lemon extract be better?
mustardyellow123: Yep definitely making this
ihitik_15: This looks amazing. I’m going to make this this weekend!
Only_Save_GifRecipes: I’ll be saving this one
imjustheretodomyjob: Is the glaze just lemon juice and caster sugar ?
