Historic Recipes Recipereminiscing

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well until fully incorporated.

5. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

6. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

7. Gently fold in the dried fruit of your choice until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. If desired, dust the top of the loaf with powdered sugar for a decorative touch before serving.
