- Pour batter into prepared loaf pans, leaving an inch below to the rim to compensate for rise.Optional: Garnish with orange slices, cranberries and dust with sugar.

Notes
Don’t Overfill Your Loaf Pan – Fill 2/3 full to compensate for rise.
Toothpick Test - Insert a toothpick into the center of a loaf. When it comes out clean, it's baked to perfection.
To Store
- Room Temperature - Allow to cool, place in a plastic bag or covered in saran wrap at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze - Wrap room temperature loaves in heavy foil, saran wrap or place in freezer bags (I use 2 freezer bags to prevent freezer odors from seeping in), and freeze up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature to serve.
