- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).

Alternating Dry Ingredients and Liquid:

Incorporating Fruit and Nuts:
- Stir in the raisins and chopped walnuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed. You can dust the fruit and nuts with a little flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.

- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling and Glazing:
