Bad bloggers BUT good recipes.

This all started with my clients love for lemon. Most of the times she asks for something with lemons so I figure, why not switch up a recipe instead of scurrying around looking for a recipe that fits her needs. If you have a good recipe base, the possibilities are endless. Like one of my instructors said, know the ratios and everything will fall in place.

This loaf came out amazing with a good flavor, not to tart, but a perfect balance of sweetness, lemon and moisture. I enjoyed a lot how the top caramelized. Looks similar  to a creme brule top.

Here is the recipe and I hope you enjoy.
