Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

The finished loaf was so moist and I loved the sweetness from the honey and almond! I'm not a fan of very sweet breads, so I reduced the honey mixture to 1/2 cup honey + 1/2 tablespoon almond extract and it was still plenty sweet. I did not drizzle any honey mixture on top. I also added a little extra brewed coffee (1/4 cup) to compensate for the lost moisture. This bread stands up very well to a flour mixture of half whole wheat / half white. The final loaf was still very fluffy and moist.
The pan size was too small, go the next size up. It was a good thing I had lines a pan with foil as it allowed me to make 'extra' sides of about 1/2-3/4 inch or it would have overflowed the pan.

This was a very nice cake, although I found it to be a little dry. Still went down very well at my work!
