Guinness Treacle Loaf
Easy
Guinness Treacle Loaf – This quickbread is slightly sweet with the unmistakeable richness of Guinness. It goes well dunked into a steaming bowl of soup or slathered with butter and jam. This recipe makes two loaves, and although it’s easy to halve the recipe to only make one, we suggest you make both and then slice up the spare and pop it into the freezer for later.
