mix all ingredi ents together. If desired you can thin the icing with water or milk.

Directions

preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch loaf pan with canola oil cooking spray and set aside. 

* In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (except the nuts). In a second large bowl, combine wet ingredients. Add this mixture to flour mixture and stir until just combined.

* Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake until cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack then remove from pan and set aside to let cool completely.
