I am baking this right now, thought I should add it. I think it is from the Rise and Dine (American one), Albion Guest House (Lise) raved about it, and yes, just fabulous!!! Today's bread is banana (1 cup, nice and moist), 1/2 cup each dried chopped apricots and craisins (not listed on the list below, but I thought it would be good). I made 1/2 without nuts since my guest is allergic. Apples make it nice and moist, too, I 've made that one. Yummmmm.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups A-to-Z mix (see below)
3 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder; set aside. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the oil and sugar and cream well. Add the A-to-Z mix and vanilla to the egg mixture. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the nuts. Spoon into 2 well greased loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour.
