1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar for decorating
1/4 cup white sugar for lacing
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon zest
6 tablespoons margarine
6 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons margarine
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch bread pan. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, dissolve egg in remaining sugar. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; pour into the bread pan. Sprinkle evenly over layers of dough.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread completely before cutting into slices.
To make the marinade: Heat margarine in a small saucepan, over medium heat, whisking constantly, until margarine has melted and mixture has a thick consistency.
Dissolve cream cheese and milk in 2/3 cup lemon juice. Mix in 1/4 cup lemon zest, lemon zest, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon zest (freshly grated).
To make the original filling: Spread cream cheese mixture over top of loaves. Place sliced loaves in a lightly greased 17x9 inch loaf pan. Using a 2 ounce sharp knife, cut strips from edge to cut through the loaf. Place loaf in pan and press edges together to seal.
Spread marinade over loaves, cover loaf and refrigerate overnight.
Meanwhile, mix butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar and lemon extract. Beat cream cheese mixture into reserved marinade. Spoon dollop mixture into loaf.
Remove loaves from refrigerator and place in warm oven with lid slightly closed. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 1 hour, or until loaves are golden brown.
