Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Prunes (pitted and chopped)
- 1 cup Fresh plums (diced)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped prunes, diced plums, and chopped nuts gently with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices plain, or toasted with a spread of butter, for a delightful treat!
