Love, love, LOVE this recipe!! The orange marmalade in the batter and the sour cream really keep this as very moist and almost magical tasting loaf!! I did skip on the cream cheese spread as we are just not cream cheese lovers but instead made a orange based glaze to go over the bread instead. This is heavenly with all the spices too - just really takes this bread to a new level of flavor! Thanks for sharing this divine recipe in 123 Hit Wonders!
