Loaf cakes might not be as showy as their tri-layered or Bundt-shaped counterparts, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less desirable. In fact, dessert loaves are often the obvious choice—they’re just as delicious, much less fussy, and they’re extra easy to transport and gift. These fall loaf cake recipes are perfect for autumnal baking. You’ll come back to them all season long.
