Lemon Fresh Herb Pudding Cake
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.
If you like ‘pudding’ breads and you dig lemon and some fresh herbs, then you’ll really dig this loaf bread! It’s got a dense moist center, notice the subtle ‘sag’ in the center of the loaf, but that’s where the really good stuff is…like the sweet spot or the pulley bone in a chicken!
The addition of the fresh lemon thyme and mint gives a pop of woodsy flavor that you don’t expect, but you’re glad it’s there~~not overpowering, it’s just enough for you to want yet one more piece with your cuppah tea or coffee!
Makes: One large loaf
Preheat oven to 350
What you need & What you do:
1/2 cup softened salted butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 vanilla bean scraped
2 beaten eggs
2 (6 oz) cups Greek Lemon yogurt
2 tsp Rodelle Organic Lemon Extract
1 lemon (juice/zest)
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tbl chopped fresh lemon thyme & mint
1/4 cup powdered sugar
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the butter and sugar with a hand mixer for about 3-5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add in the honey, vanilla bean, eggs, yogurt, lemon extract and lemon juice. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet and blend. Fold in the fresh thyme and mint.
Bake in a preheated 350 oven about 45+ minutes or until a toothpick comes out basically clean. (Note: if you like a more ‘pudding’eee’ center, then bake about 5-7 minutes less). Cool on a rack. Remove and dust with powdered sugar (optional).
