I published this recipe in February, but when I made it recently I also made a cream cheese icing to go with it.  Which gave me a good excuse to republish it.

  • 3 eggs (lightly beaten)

5. Spoon into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top. For a single loaf bake for 50 minutes, for 12 mini loaves bake for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
6. Cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes then turn onto a wire rack to cool.
