Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and baking powder. Whisk a few times to incorporate the dry ingredients.
  • Add the mixed fruit, grated coconut, raisins, and sugar. Whisk together until slightly lumpy.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and add the evaporated milk, melted butter, and almond essence. Pour into the main bowl with the dry ingredients.
  • Mix the batter with a spoon or fork until everything is incorporated. The batter will be thick and sticky.
  • Grease bread pans and fill them with the mixture, about ¾ full. You'll need 2 pans.
  • Bake at 325°F for about 60 minutes. Check with a toothpick for doneness.
  • Once cooked through, brush with glaze made from sugar and warm water, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for additional 5 minutes. Let cool before slicing.
