    I loved making this cake. 50 min in my oven. I lined the 8 1/2 pan with a parchment runner w/overhanging handles & was able to pop it out easily. It tastes amazing! Will definitely be making this one again!

    I made several variations of this to find which one I liked the most : following the recipe by the book, adding poppy seeds as at Tartine, adding poppy seeds + folding in some whipped cream. It probably could have baked longer, but we were overzealous. The whipped cream version came out of the pan easiest. One of my kids proclaimed they wanted to spend all of their toothfairy money on that same cookbook.

    I love, love this cake at the bakery and this recipe is a winner. I added the poppy seeds, although not called for in the recipe so I could match the bakery version. I would like the loaf to be bigger, the slices are smaller and less square than the version at Tartine (double recipe, larger pan??). The almond paste makes this so moist and flavorful along with the tart lemon is such a wonderful combination.

    Very soft and tender. Easy to eat way too much. I did not bother sifting the flour. I also used the mixer the whole time, using the stir setting to add the zest and flour, with just the final mix by hand. The photo next to this recipe shows poppy seeds, so I added a couple of tablespoons at the end. So delicious! Wish it weren't so fattening.

    This was the first recipe I made from the cookbook and I loved it SO MUCH. I made the almond paste myself, but I'll try store-bought next time.

    SO GOOD. Seriously, rich and tender, and that crystallized crust! Oh man, yum.
