I will start by saying that I made this recipe Saturday and took one loaf to a social event. I put it out, turned around to talk to someone, turned back and it was gone. Very light and tasty! But it is fascinating to read all the combinations of things that don't seem quite like the pictures - the commercial lemon curd that I used was quite runny, and maybe I measured incorrectly because it did run out and burn the bottom of one loaf. No trouble with the cream cheese filing. The dough was difficult because it was exceedingly soft - I used the entire weight of flour called for in the recipe but was reluctant to add more. I tried rolling the first half out on my board before transferring it to the parchment paper on my baking sheet and all I had was a mush that I had to roll out again once on the parchment paper. The second half I rolled out directly on the parchment paper. I do plan to make this recipe again because it is definitely a delicious coffee cake. Thank you.
