Sweet Bread (Barbados) image

This recipe is from week 23 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Barbados is my 23rd stop. I served this as a dessert, but Bajans usually have it as a snack with a cup of hot tea.

This bread is not good. It's too dry and the flavor is bland.

This bread didn't turn out well for me. I think I might have overmixed the batter, because it was very dense.

This bread is a bit dry, but the flavor is good. I think I might try adding some more butter or oil to the batter next time.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less sugar next time.

This bread is delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the glaze.
