Instructions

Sift Flour with baking powder and salt.

Add sugar and fruits followed by coconut as well as ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly.

Whip the eggs in a separate bowl and whisk in the milk as well as the coconut essence and melted butter.

Make a dent in the flour and pour the egg mixture in. Stir until combined. The consistency of the batter should be sticky and fairly stiff.

Divide the batter into 2 greased bread pans (9x5) and bake for 50-60 minutes at 325 F (160 C) until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
