I used this recipe from handful of sand it’s pretty good, I added 1 tsp baking powder, and I changed the crumb coating mixture and made some fresh icing. I should have baked it for an additional 20 minutes, it was still pretty gooey in the middle.
Crumb Coating
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp butter, melted
mix ingredients in a medium bowl until large clumps form, sprinkle over batter in bread pan before baking.
Icing
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp milk
mix until well blended, keep refrigerated. put in a small ziploc bag and cut the tip off an end to make a decorating bag.
For the leaves I rolled out a tube of marzipan, and using a cookie cutter, cut out the leaves, drew some lines with a toothpick and painted them with red and yellow food coloring. I have terrible luck with marzipan, never once have a gotten it to harden, and I usually wind up with a sticky melting mess, but it was ok this time. The humidity did make me need to set the candies in front of an a/c for a while to dry them out a bit, I tried baking a few leaves for a few minutes and that was a melty disaster.
