• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350, grease 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.

Whisk first 4 ingredients until blended. Mix the next 5 ingredients in a bowl. Beat the liquid ingredients into the dry ones until just blended. Fold in the nuts. Pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly then unmold.
