\"slice<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Now my neighbors and friends know my secret recipe to their holiday goodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year I drop off a loaf of this along with a container of my homemade hot cocoa mix<\/a> to wish them Happy Holidays, Cool Yule, Merry Christmas, Good Luck with Finals, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to do plates of different kinds of cookies and fudge. A few years ago I simplified and just made just the two things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I triple the recipe below for the simple reason I have three loaf pans. I bake up three, pull the loaves out of the pans using the aluminum foil and immediately start another batch while the pans cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it Cake or Quick Bread?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of explanations of the differences between cake and quick bread, with some even saying cake is a quick bread. There were discussions of specific ingredients, texture, crumb, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the best differentiation for me was from Land O Lakes:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
