How to Make 3 C Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease four 5 ¾ x 3 x 2 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup grated carrots, 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup chopped cherries, ½ cup raisins, and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
