COPYCAT Starbucks Lemon Loaf

COPYCAT ALERT!!!! Not my own creation?

Social Media has become a playground for Recipes To be aimlessly tumbling around. I personally,strongly, advocate that Recipe References Be left on and shared as it appears. However, sadly, Social media has become such that respecting the property, and hardwork, of another person, very casually takes a back seat in many people’s conscious.

Take for instance this Recipe I blog about today, like many out there, this recipe has been “floating about” and many have ‘unscrupulously’ even attached their name to the recipe??????. So upon doing a little research, I found that this recipe was “Cloned” by a Todd Wilbur” who has many such top secret recipes. Every now and then, I do like to try out these “floating recipes” just to see what all the hype is about. Now let me enlighten you about this recipe I have tried out.

Confession Time
I HAVE NEVER TRIED STARBUCKS LEMON LOAF???
Well back home in South Africa We never had Starbucks, I believe the franchise is heading that way, if it hasn’t already. So My limited exposure to Starbucks has been during my Travels, and there is only so much one can try out at once☺️. Urged on by Curiosity, and my hormonal cravings?, this Copycat Starbuck Lemon Loaf, was screaming ‘Try Me Out’.

Try Me!!! Try Me!!!
Try Me!!! Try Me!!!

Foodeva Marsay Verdict
A simple recipe to follow, well worth making. Not on the Lighter side of cakes, it is a little dense, and seemed a wee bit dry, but that was probably due to leaving it a little longer in oven to bake through. The Baking time says 45 minutes, but you need to add 5-10 minutes more. Coconut oil has been called for here, I am sure it would make a huge difference to texture/Taste, but Today I have used Regular Vegetable Oil, to show it is doable??. For a more intense lemon flavour, I did find the Lemon Flavour wasn’t too intense as expected, the next time I make this,(yes I will make it again, I enjoyed it?), I would add more of the Lemon Essence/extract. Also Note I have used Granulated Sugar Today not regular sugar. A Perfect Bake for Tea Time, this Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Gets a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ?Foodeva Marsay Rating? .

Now Off you go and get Baking this delicious cake, while I sit here and enjoy another slice with my Coffee?
