Recently found out I was allergic to milk and eggs so I used coconut oil for butter, almond milk for milk and energ egg replacer. Also, I used evaporated cane sugar. It was still the most amazing bread.....ever. I can't imagine it being any better but would give anything to try the original recipe! Thank you so much. Finding yummy recipes that handle ingredient replacements well is difficult. This bread will be a staple at my house!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-52081648369123246242012-04-12T10:21:30.028-05:002012-04-12T10:21:30.028-05:00Hi Elizabeth,
I'm really sorry about your over...Hi Elizabeth,<br />I'm really sorry about your overflowing batter. This recipe does push the limits of an 8-inch pan, filling it up more than most. I've just added this note to the recipe, which I hope will help:<br /><br /><i><b>A note about loaf pans: </b>Sizes vary!<b> </b>In the U.S., loaf pans are generally referred to as 8-inch and 9-inch, but the actual dimensions (measured across the top) of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003YKGRKU/farmgirlfare-20" rel="nofollow">my Chicago Metallic 8-inch loaf pans</a> (which they simply call 1-pound loaf pans) are 8½" x 4½" and they're 2¾" tall. <b>If your pan is smaller than this, use a larger size for this recipe or the batter may overflow.</b> (My <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003YKGRLO/farmgirlfare-20" rel="nofollow">Chicago Metallic 1½-pound loaf pans</a> measure 10"x5"x3".)</i><br /><br />Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know what happened. Hopefully now we can keep it from happening to anybody else! :)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-48286244057898283592012-04-12T08:44:36.538-05:002012-04-12T08:44:36.538-05:00HELP!

Granted, I'm not the most experienced baker in the world, but the batter seemed to be way too much for the pan. I proceeded anyway after double-checking (three times!) and put it in the 8x4 pan. Really filled it up. Anyway, it's baking and overflowing the pan. Can you imagine what in the world I did wrong? Honestly, I can't see what I did wrong. I looked at all the Comments and nobody else seemed to have this problem!<br /><br />HELP? Thanks. I really like your blog, by the way.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><br />fitzelizabeth@yahoo.comElizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-11071957760779807462012-04-04T12:37:45.113-05:002012-04-04T12:37:45.113-05:00Hi Cheri,

Baking times can really vary - the loaf I made the other day in an 8x4 inch pan took 75 minutes to bake. It did get pretty brown on the edges, but it tasted great - and Joe assured me it looked fine. ;)<br /><br />I was intrigued by the commenter above who said they baked all their quick breads at 300 degrees instead of 350, but I've never tried it. I'm afraid in the 8x4 inch pan this bread would take forever. ;)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-27081307535824248232012-04-03T18:54:03.769-05:002012-04-03T18:54:03.769-05:00Thank you for sharing this recipe.

It only took 50 minutes in my 9x5 pan, next time I will try the suggestion to bake at 300, as it did get a little too dark around the edges for my taste. My grocer carries raw coconut that looks like shavings, so I just put it through the grater on my food processor.<br /><br />yum! Thanks for a fantastic recipe! Going to make some rhubarb cherry jam later that I think will go well with it!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045831538243707493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-58817850400935913422011-07-28T16:10:19.486-05:002011-07-28T16:10:19.486-05:00To DAISY

I love coconut and lemon separately, as well as combined, made the loaf today and love the density and flavor.<br /><br />The only substitution I made, and I recommend it, was to use coconut milk instead of cow milk. It made a stronger flavor, without overpowering the lemon at all.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to trying more of your recipes.<br />:)<br />Jodi<br />JodiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-60320696088157978792011-05-05T22:53:53.189-05:002011-05-05T22:53:53.189-05:00This looks very good but did sneak a peak at you E...This looks very good but did sneak a peak at you Emergency Chocolate Cake.

So since I live in a nice hot humid area Maryland near the inner harbor. I think I will buy a few cans and store them in the freezer like I do with everything else to keep the humidity away. That way I can open a can a month. Planting the summer garden this weekend if the rain ever lets up. It has been rainging for a solid week and a half so far. <br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful blog.
