This bread is terrific! It actually seems more like a coffee cake to me, because it's very moist and cakey. It has a great flavor, and the peach preserves added just the right amount of sweetness! I left out the pecans for dietary reasons, and it was done in about 45-50 minutes. I was also unable to remove it from the pan because it started to fall apart, but it turned out great anyway. I will be making this frequently. Thanks, Theresa!

Made this tonight. We loved it!!!!! It's already gone. Same as other review, I didn't have pecans but the walnuts and worked out perfectly. Thank you! I didn't use the blender, I creamed it with the mixer and added the dry ingredients.

This was an excellent bread. I didn't have any pecans, so I substituted walnuts. I cooked it exactly 1 hour and it came out of the pan perfectly.
