Benedictine Pear Loaf Cake
If ever there was a recurrent theme for me here, it would be a quick bread made in a loaf pan. That’s just how I roll, I guess. Maybe I should change the name to Dave’s Quick Bread Recipes? Hmmm. This came about actually while initially searching online for an apple cake recipe, and finding…
