JUST IN CASE this turns out wonderfully and my son in law begs my daughter to cook it…..I combined the two recipes below and kinda improvised which I always do with cooking or less familiar baking….extra ingredients were walnuts instead of pecans, plus chocolate chips plus 6 crumbled chocolate chip cookies. I used brown demerara sugar and 4 eggs and made two good size loaves.
