I used two 8x 5x2 loaf pans. The loaves were about 2 inces high after baking. Wonderful flavour and so very moist. I thought maybe the spices would be to much but they were perfect. I would suggest using parchment paper in the pan mine stuck really badly. Plus I had a hard time slicing it . It kept falling apart. I will make this again but using the tiny loaf pans or as muffins.
