This was good, very moist and rich. Added powdered sugar to the glaze to make it more like a frosting, like the one in Rita L's picture.

I went way off on this recipe! I added 1 tsp of baking powder, substituted 1 cup of whole wheat flour for one of the all purpose flours and used Splenda. I put the batter in a bundt pan and baked up a delicious dessert cake. I added Splenda to the reserved juice and about 1/4 cup powdered sugar to the frosting to make it a little more firm. We loved it and the neighbors raved about it. This is a versatile recipe and so-o-o good. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

This was very good. I followed the recipe exactly for the bread. The bread was delicious. Next time, I will add some walnuts or pecans. I also added about 3/4 cup of powdered sugar to the cream cheese. It was too tart otherwise. This was even better the next day. Thanks for sharing.
