This is easy to make and the icing with it adds a lot to the flavor. The time and/or temperature seems to be off. Other than that, this is very good.

Smells Like Salad

You post the best quick bread recipes, Mikekey! I love that the almonds are toasted first. It only enhances the flavor. As usual, I baked the bread as two "mini-loaves" and sorry to say that I skipped the glaze for the simple reason that I dislike glaze. A glaze does add a pretty presentation though-that I will admit! Served for elevenses with tea, watermelon and peaches. Perfect! Prepared for CQ 2017/Scandinavia. :)
