Pour mixture into creased baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes and test with the toothpick – it has to come out clean and dry. *To make it more festive and decadent, add ½ cup raisins, ½ cup dry cranberries, 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans and 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can add or combine any nuts, dry fruits or berries you like, for example, dry cherries, or dry currants, etc. |
