Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is properly greased and floured. This will prevent the loaf from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures that the loaf is cooked through.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. This will help the loaf to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
