This turned out quite well for a bread with no fat other than the eggs. The flavour is very good.It is very moist, in fact I had to bake it quite a bit longer than the recipe states. I reduced the amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla as they seemed like a lot and I'm glad I did. This bread is extremely sweet. I would reduce the sugar and increase the flour if I make this again. Thanks for posting this, CK.
