If you have standard bread loaf pans, this MUST must split! At 50 minutes, I'm watching it goo out of the pan (bye bye streusel!) and it's still completely raw. Not looking forward to the finished product. I had one meyer lemon, and now it's (almost) wasted. The blueberries too. Remember, two pans!

Hi Sheila H, the pan I used was a 4" x 10" inch, 2 1/2 " tall loaf tin, as explained in step 4.
