Healthy and tasty is right, Caryn. I grind my own white wheat flour, which is nice and light, so I used all whole wheat flour to make this bread, and didn't add the chocolate chips. I made this recipe in a double batch, one for us and one to mail to my elderly parents. I got good reviews from both places. Next time I think I will add in some plump raisins...and there will be a next time!

For a cake, I didn't find this quite sweet enough, but then I didn't include the chocolate chips. Maybe they would have helped. No other problems though.
