Reviews
Would add spices next time. Cinnamon and Nutmeg.
I was looking for a pretty tea bread for the Christmas holidays. I made this as written with one exception-I left the raisins out, seemed like overkill to me. This is a colorful, moist loaf, perfect for gift-giving. My only question is: why call it Cherry SPICE Loaf? Not a lick of spice in this recipe!
