This recipe had WAY too much
This recipe had WAY too much sugar. The spices are good, however, and it is moist. Another flaw in the recipe is the baking time. 1 1/4 hours? Your cake would be scorched, especially if you made 5 small loaves. I made 2 medium loaves, and they were done in about 40 minutes.
Hi Victoria, Thank you for
Hi Victoria, Thank you for your comments. We have adjusted the baking time above. The ingredients are as they came to us from The Hancock Inn. Of course, you may adjust according to your personal preference. Enjoy!
