Very moist and lots of flavor. The only thing I changed was I put one cup of whole wheat flour for one of the two cups of flour.

This bread was great. I added a few chocolate chips, but it was so moist and delicous, you'd never know it was a healthy bread.

Very good but because overly moist after a few days. Next time I'll make it healthier by doing 1/2 whole wheat flour. I think it will cut down on the moistness while making it healthy!

The first time I made this recipe I used regular flour instead of the cake four it called for and I absolutly loved it. The second time I made it I used the cake flour and I wasn't as impressed. It's probably just a prefence. Either way you prepare this it recipe I thought it was really good.
