The problem with such a great recipe is that everyone feels entitled to add to it / make it their own. So, first, may I recognize and thank Trish for a lovely recipie. It worked exactly as published. It tasted great and drew the compliments of my guests. Thank you.
My enhancements (take it or leave it)...
- I used shortening to grease the pan. As a cast Iron fanatic I think I get better results with shortening, and it improves the seasoning. Salted butter has a tendency to stip seasoning from young pans. The result was a clean release of the loaf and a wounderful taste consistent with other review comments.
- Cooking time was lengthened by using a cold cast Iron pan. I will compensate by oven warming the pan next time.
- I covered the dish for a few minutes after removal (from 32 min cooking) to keep the loaf moist. This worked well.
- I am a Vanilla nut and I will consider 3X or 4X the amount of Vanilla (sort of consistent with the over-the-top Amusement Park theme) this should be a little extreme, no?
- To add calories, drizzle loaf with melted butter after 20 min. This will enhance browning and topping flavor.
Great recipe, Trish. Thank you.
