Recipe Notes
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar or spread with a thin layer of cream cheese frosting, if desired.You can store this loaf cake in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Warm a slice in the toaster oven or microwave before serving.I think this would be good with a cup of mini chocolate chips stirred in too.Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.5*SmartPoints (Green plan)5*SmartPoints (Blue plan)5*SmartPoints (Purple plan)4*PointsPlus (Old plan)
