This was super delicious and easy to make! It was very, very moist and the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor! I used honey instead of sugar (and I used quite a bit less than the amt. called for because honey is sweeter than sugar) and didn't add the frosting. I did have to bake it for a full hour instead of 30 minutes and that was with half the recipe. But I used a bread tin, so maybe that was why it took longer to bake.
