• The recipe above works well in an 8-inch cake pan if you'd instead serve it that way. You can also pipe buttercream or cream cheese frosting to decorate.

• If one wants to make two loaves, it is suggested to increase the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and giving the cakes an aluminium foil tent once the top of the loaves starts getting dark. Two loaves will need about an hour in the oven. Check cautiously with a toothpick.
