I made this recipe for zaar tag. I left out the nuts/raisins/mini choc chips and added an extra 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Also, I don't have a tube pan so I made it in two 8.5 inch X 4.5 inch loaf pans. It took 80 minutes to cook this way. I chose to dust it with powdered sugar and then as is my preference, we ate it with cool whip on it. This was Absolutely Delicious!! My husband who always gives his opinion on the foods I make him (by request) even said it was really good and there wasn't much he would change. We both agreed it could use even more cinnamon. That's it, no other changes! We love it, thanks so much for a great recipe!!
