Presents from the pantry are a tradition in my family-and this moist, fruity quick bread is a favorite. I wrap loaves in cellophane and garnish with stickers and curly ribbons. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1 cup vegetable oil |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 teaspoon rum extract |
1-1/2 cups eggnog |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 cup candied fruit |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat eggs and oil. Beat in the sugar, extracts and eggnog. Combine 2-1/2 cups flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to egg mixture. Toss the fruit with remaining flour; stir into batter. Fold in walnuts.
2. Pour into two greased 8-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2 loaves.
