I put this in the cake forum, because even though it's made in loaf pans, it has the texture of a light, moist, not-too-sweet cake.
I changed up the original recipe by using less sugar, more fresh orange juice for the top, and substituted pecans for the walnuts. Oh, yeah, I used a cup of light cream instead of milk. Just used the things I had on hand and I ran OUT of sugar, LOL!
Easy, delicious, makes 2 nice loaves, so I can share!
