Paul Hollywoods Lemon Drizzle Cake
Hi, there are a few reader questions piled up about how to adapt the recipe for US sized loaf pans and a question of lemon glaze + sugar on top or just the glaze. I'd like to make it so would appreciate a review of the recipe for US bakers..

Hi Gabriel -
This recipe is a direct excerpt from Paul Hollywood's cookbook, Bake: My Best Ever Recipes for the Classics, which was printed with permission to coincide with his appearance on Milk Street Radio. We did not develop this recipe here at Milk Street nor were we authorized to modify it.
As reference, an 8 1/2-inch x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan is considered a 1 lb. pan. So, theoretically, you could either bake two or halve the recipe. As a general rule with loaf cakes, you want to fill the pan no higher than 2/3 of the way full to prevent overfilling.
Hope that helps,
The Milk Street Cooking Team
