If adding chocolate chips, eliminate cinnamon.
What size cake pan do you use? It isn’t in the instrutions. Thanks
Hi Teresa! You can use 2 loaf pans, 2 cake pans, 1 bundt pan, 1 9 X 13 pan, etc. Most of the recipes in the Recipe Box are the same way.
Happy Baking!
I made this tonight…it is baking as we speak…it smells soooooo good! thanks for a great recipe
I saw the comment about using a 9X13, so I tried this, only it was WAY to big for one batch. I made two batches for the 9X13.
Also I buttered the pan and instead of flouring it I did a cinnamon sugar mixture. Turned out awesome!! I used the same mixture that I used for snickerdoodles, because I had some left over.
couldn’t you cut this recipe to half and use 9 by 9 pan?
Thanks for your tips. We’ll add it to the Kitchen notes.
I wouldn’t, the recipe itself was to small for the 13X9 so I wouldn’t cut the recipe in half to fill a 9 X 9.
Thanks!
Hi……..just to clear this up for me….if I make this in a bundt pan I’d need to double the recipe as well? Since in a comment the baking pans are pretty universal but this recipe wasn’t enough to fill the 9 x 13…….hope that’s clear:))
Hi Rhonda!
Sorry for any confusion.This is a reader submitted recipe so the Kitchen has not tested it.
From what we have read, the recipe is best in a 9 X 9 pan. If you try it and get something different, please let us know.
great tasting yum,yum
Made this today for the first time. I substituted 1/2 the flour with King Arthur’s White Whole Wheat flour and 1/2 the oil with unsweetened applesauce. Turned out really good! Thank you for this website and all the recipes – I was recently given amish bread starter for the first time and now I have a lot of it!!
