Combining two popular baked goods - banana bread and fruitcake - yielded this treat. Even people who don't care for fruitcake will like this version! Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 cup canola oil |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium) |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans |
1 cup chopped candied cherries |
1/2 cup chopped candied pineapple |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add bananas. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; add to banana mixture just until blended. Fold in the pecans, cherries and pineapple.
2. Pour into two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
