TWD: Lemon Loaf Cake

This go-round of Tuesdays with Dorie/Baking with Julia, we've got Lemon Loaf Cake, hosted by Truc of Treats and Michelle of The Beauty of Life. The recipe (from contributing baker Norman Love) can be found on their blogs.

We also have the Worst! Picture! Ever!

It was taken with my iPhone on the front seat of my car on our way to an Easter egg hunt, to which I was bringing the little triangular lemon loaves. (I use my silicone miniature scone pan for all kinds of non-scone projects.) I tossed some of my King Arthur Flour lemon bits on top, for extra lemon flair.

I didn't love this recipe - too dense and dry, and not lemony enough - but I think I know why. Because after the aforementioned Easter egg hunt, I came home, opened my fridge, and saw...the container of heavy cream still sitting there, unopened. Oops! Well, the Easter egg hunt moms liked them fine, so there.

Next time: Hungarian Shortbread on page 327

    If this can help: your picture is not THAT bad!
    My cake was to dense, too and I did include the cream... I think it's just its texture....
    Hope you had a lovely egg hunts!

    I am glad I am not the only who catches those types of oops.

    I was wondering how you got those shapes, but the scone pan makes sense. Cute idea!

    There are way worse pictures out there - trust me, I have taken them :-)
    Fun idea to use the scone pan.

    I like your picture. I'm sure we all have forgotten an ingredient at one time or another; I know I have.

    Isn't is amazing what whipped cream can do? Kind of like powdered sugar. And it's a wonderful photo - I love the shapes... so interesting and unique. I'm all for more lemon too - I wish Norman would have thought of it! ;)

    Don't you just hate that when you forget an ingredient? I have had that happen and it is so frustrating. At
    least the Easter egg hunt was fun and the moms all enjoyed them.
