  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the loaf tough, so be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the loaf in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help to give the loaf a nice shape and will prevent it from spreading out too much.
  • Bake the loaf until it is cooked through: The loaf is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool before slicing: Allow the loaf to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to allow the flavors to develop and the loaf to firm up.
