Love the pineapple! I bet it adds a nice sweetness in addition to keeping the cake moist. I love a loaf like this--it works as breakfast, mid-day snack, and dessert!
ReplyDeleteMy in-laws are on their way over to spend the night. I think I'll make this so we have something tasty for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for passing the recipe along. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great recipe, but mine turned out a little too crumbly for a loaf; maybe muffins will be better! As a personal preference, I'd put a little more cinnamon & nutmeg than called for in the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
