Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf tin or cake pan with parchment paper.
• 2 In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
• 3 In another large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
• 4 Alternately add the dry mixture and milk into the butter mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
• 5 Fold in the dried fruits, nuts, and orange zest.
• 6 Pour batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• 7 Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve.
