This would make the best baked Christmas gift! Love how pretty the vanilla glaze looks on top :)
Great idea! It would be a hit!!
I just made this and it overflowed my pan. I followed the directions exactly. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
Hi Ava! I’m sorry this overflowed. Did you use an 8×4 loaf pan? You could try using 2 smaller pans next time to prevent it from overflowing.
