Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.

Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat until just combined.

Fold in the dried mixed fruit and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Serve slices of the fruit bread with butter or enjoy it plain as a delightful snack.
