Notes
- Allow to Rest/Cool: Allow the bread to rest in the loaf pan for a few minutes before removing or slicing. If possible, lift out of loaf pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Baking Time: Ovens can bake differently, and loaf pan thickness can vary, causing the baking time to differ, so it's important to check on it the first time making it, so as not to overbake it.
- Optional Frosting: Feel free to add a chocolate frosting to the top of this loaf cake, if desired. Just be sure to allow it to fully cool before doing so. Or spread this mint buttercream frosting on top.
