Oh my God!it looks amazing,i am sure it's sooo yummmy.i want one piece:( Hoda
Thanks to Suma, I'm eating a slice right now and I like it because it has a lot of flavor. It reminds me of a Dutch bread called "Krentenbrood" (= "raisin bread"). The only difference is that the Dutch bread is a yeast bread and your bread is a quick bread (made with baking powder). Thanks for sharing!
