These adorable mini loaf cakes are perfectly portioned, golden-brown treats that are ideal for gift-giving, bake sales, or portion control. Moist, tender, and beautifully domed with a sugar-sparkled crust, these individual cakes are just as delicious as full-sized loaves but bake in half the time and look absolutely charming.
