Kitchen Notes
From Candy Mason: “To get more lemon flavor, add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest or 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon extract. For the coconut, 2 cups worked great stirred in and 1 cup to top the loaves before baking. This bread turned out delicious!”
Made this today and when I tasted the batter it just wasn’t lemony enough. If I had any lemon zest I would have added a good Tablespoon but as it was I just added an extra teaspoon of lemon extract. It helped the Lemon flavor come out. Also I used 2 cups of Coconut instead of 1.5 and 1 cup of coconut on top of the loaves instead of 1/2 a cup.
Turned out delicious!!
