This is one of those recipes we confusingly call a “bread” or “loaf” but is not actually a proper bread made with yeast. It’s actually just cake baked in the form of a bread loaf, also called “quick bread” in reference to the speed with which they are made (ie no yeast = no rise = fast to make!).

I am a fan not only because of ease of making, but also because they are so much more transportable than tall layered cakes, easy to serve, and easy to eat with just a napkin and hands.
