Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

- Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.

Add nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling for extra crunch.
For a richer flavor, swap classic icing for cream cheese icing.
