Ingredients

• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 60 milliliters milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 150 grams dried fruits (such as raisins, currants, or cranberries)
• 100 grams chopped nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• 50 grams chopped dark chocolate (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a standard loaf pan (approximately 8x4 inches) or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet egg and sugar mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Step 4

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thick, but ensure there are no lumps.

Step 5

Fold in the dried fruits, chopped nuts, and optional chopped dark chocolate, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
