honey, sugar, and butter. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Pour over
1One half cups of the cereal in a large bowl. Let cool 15 minutes. Sift the
flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the bowl; add
the remaining One half cup of cereal, eggs, and vanilla. Stir with a heavy
wooden spoon just until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan,
smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cereal. Bake until the loaf
shrinks from the sides of the pan and a skewer inserted in the center comes
out clean. About 1 hour. Loosely cover the top of the loaf with aluminum

wire rack for 20 minutes. Carefully loosen around the sides of the pan,
then invert onto the rack and turn right side up. Cool completely. Makes
one loaf.
