Hi Jean! I confirmed with Zoë’s book that this bakes at 325 degrees F and she calls for a 9×4 inch Pullman Pan or a 10×5 inch loaf pan. If you use a 9×5 inch loaf pan, it may be too small.

I see from others that the size of the pan 9X5 is actually to small. That could be the issue – however can you confirm this should be cooked at 325 degrees?

Delicious! I found my cake needed much less cooking time, perhaps I did something wrong!

A bit involved to make, but worth the effort. So flavorful and moist. My daughter made it for my mom’s Easter dinner and there wasn’t a crumb left!!!

Hi Megan! Sorry you had issues with the amount of batter. The recipe calls for a 9×4 inch Pullman pan, which is deeper than a regular loaf pan, or a 10×5 inch loaf pan, so your pan is just a bit too small. You can also divide the batter into two smaller loaf pans if you have them. So glad you are enjoying Zoe Bakes Cakes!

I baked this from my copy of Zoe Bakes Cakes. Even using a bigger pan (9×5, not 9×4), I had way more batter than would bake successfully in the pan. I decided to just trust Zoe, as her recipes have never failed me (the cookbook is amazing!), but the cake grew significantly in height and spilled over into the oven, burning and filling the house with smoke. I was able to mostly rescue the rest, but I’m wondering what happened. Did I incorporate too much air? Or does the recipe just give you way too much batter? The only change I made was doubling the zest and omitting the lemon extract because I didn’t have any.

Hi Jennifer, Zoë has not tried this, but in general whenever trying something like this you want to make sure not to fill the pan more than 2/3 full of batter to make sure it doesn’t overflow. You can always bake the excess in cupcake tins or mini loaf pans (they will need less time in the oven since they are smaller)! Enjoy!
