I received
this recipe from a recent potluck. It is called a bread, but it could
pass for a cake. Anyway you slice it, this fall inspired bread/cake is
delicious and great with coffee. It is simple to put together and you
can mix the ingredients in one big bowl. Keeps for a few days if
wrapped well.
