Lemon Loaf Cake - Tuesdays with Dorie (BwJ)

Tuesdays with Dorie - Baking with Julia edition

This week, the Tuesdays with Dorie group tackled a lovely Lemon Loaf Cake. I just love all things lemon. Made with cake flour, this loaf has a nice, delicate crumb.

Some bakers made a glaze to top the cake...that sounds like a good idea. Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie members!

And my lovely platter? It's made by Gary Holt pottery in Berkeley, California. You know when you walk into a place and can see everything fit perfectly in your house? That's Gary's studio to me. He's holding a summer sale soon...if you are in Northern California, please visit his lovely studio. Nothing gets more local than buying it from an artist in his studio!

Recipe:
The Tuesdays with Dorie group encourages you to support cookbook authors like Dorie Greenspan and purchase the book. You won't be disappointed! You can also check WorldCat to see if your local library has the book.

    Let me just say I wish I am in Northern California and I could visit the studio of Gary Holt! Great combo of the color of the plate and the color of your loaf.
