I, as usual, substituted half Splenda for half of the sugar, but it
worked very well. One of the things I like about the site Just A Pinch, is reading the
comments from people who have already used the recipe. There
were questions on what type of shortening to use (the originator used Criso), others
used butter or margarine. Seems it doesn't really matter, so I used butter.
Many added other things
like raisins and dried cranberries. And as wonderful as that sounds, I didn't have
either in the pantry so the standard recipe was what I went by and added of dusting a powdered sugar when cooled. It was really
more of a pound cake than bread, but it was moist and so flavorful, that I actually
did “like” JustAPinch.com Facebook page so I can see what they are bringing up
next! Best thing about this site, is that it is a great collection of recipes from home kitchen cooks, like us!
So don’t easily dismiss all those ads that appear as you are checking on your Facebook friends. They actually may have something good to offer! Oh wait a minute...I just checked Facebook and JustAPinch.com has posted a "Brownie Chocolate Cheesecake" recipe! I have a wedding in five months to get ready for! Someone else please make this and report on results! On second thought, maybe I should avoid the ads for a while.
