Better Than Takeout | Luscious Lemon Loaf
A new Season is here and our Consultants have been hard at work experimenting with our new Winter & Spring 2021 blends, meal solutions, cookware, and dessert. One of the products we are really excited about is Luscious Lemon Curd. It’s sweet and lemony with a slightly tangy flavour. Like all of our products, it’s 100% gluten free — as well as kosher, vegan, and, versatile! Following Season Launch, Epicure Consultant Samantha Briggs quickly took to her test kitchen to whip up a new recipe: Luscious Lemon Loaf. Just like the mermaid coffee shop fave but #BetterThanTakeout! Here’s Samantha’s recipe:
LUSCIOUS LEMON LOAF
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 package Luscious Lemon Curd
1 cup sour cream or plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup oil
2 tbsp lemon zest
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F. Spray a loaf pan or lightly brush your Mini Loaf Pans with oil and flour. Set aside
To a large bowl, add the eggs, Luscious Lemon Curd, and sour cream/yogurt, and whisk vigorously until smooth and combined.
Drizzle in the oil while whisking to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir until just combined - don’t over-mix
Turn the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing the top lightly with a 3-in-1 Spatula
Bake for about 50-52 minutes in a loaf pan or 30-32 minutes in Mini Loaf Pans - or until the top is domed and golden brown
Insert a toothpick into the center crack - if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter, it’s done!
Allow loaf/loaves to cool on a Cooling Rack for at least 30 minutes
Lemon Glaze
1 cup Confectioner’s sugar
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon
In a small bowl, add the confectioner’s sugar and slowly drizzle in the lemon juice while whisking until smooth and combined.
You may need to play with the sugar and lemon juice amounts as necessary for the desired consistency and flavour. Evenly drizzle glaze over bread before slicing and serving.
