Quick bread is a bread made with a leavening agent such as baking powder that permits immediate cooking of the bread. Unlike other bread with yeast that needs to be set aside for hours so the dough will rise. It covers many kinds of cakes and bread and also a traditional western recipe. But the recipe I have here is mixed with local fruits and nuts like sugar palm fruit or commonly known locally as kaong. You can buy kaong already bottled and preserved with syrup in any large supermarkets. By the way, before chopping the kaong, you should drain it first and discard the syrup.
