Notes
Flour Choice: If you want a softer texture, try using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the sugar to your preference—reduce for a lighter sweetness or increase for extra indulgence.
Dairy-Free Option: Swap the milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free butter.
Extra Moisture: Add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt for an even softer bread.
Icing Thickness: If you prefer a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner drizzle, add more milk.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
Reheating Tip: Warm slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to bring back the fresh-from-the-oven taste!
