INGREDIENTS:
- Flour (I used white whole wheat)
- Baking powder
- Sugar (I just used more honey)
- Salt
- Honey
- Beer (found a honey wheat at Whole Foods that I could buy just one can)
- Butter
This sounded so weird I had to try! The original recipe calls for all purpose (white) flour and sugar so I did alter it a bit. The picture looked sooooo yummy I thought it was worth giving it a try:

It was really easy - done mixing and in the oven in no time and with little mess. Unfortunately I think this is one recipe where substituting whole wheat just doesn't work ...
It smelled wonderful but it was incredibly dense and for some reason I thought it would be sweet where as it was very beer flavored. Hubby did another "hmmmm ... this is ... interesting" reaction. Then ate 75% of it. I honestly just had one slice and didn't go back for more. It wasn't bad - it just wasn't my thing with such a beer flavor to it. If you are not on a whole foods diet and open to using white flour it may be worth a try.

I'd love to know you visited and what you think! I'm also thankful for any ideas, tips or suggestions as I'm still learning to cook and to live a real / whole foods lifestyle.
