This is a really nice "company" dessert, just to sit around and chit chat with coffee. It would be great to have for the holidays, or to give as homemade gifts.
Ingredients:
2 & 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 cup honey
2 eggs
2 tbl veggie oil
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tbl sliced almonds
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease and flour 2, 9 x 5 loaf pans.
2. In large bowl, combine all ingredients, except almonds, and beat well.
3. Pour equally into the prepared pans. Bake loaves halfway (about 25 minutes), then sprinkle with the almonds (doing it this way, will keep the almonds from sinking).
4. Bake for a total of 45-55 minutes (tooth pick test). Allow to cool 10 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
