Time 1h36m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 ½ cups brown sugar
2 (8 ounce) packages grated coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup seedless raisins
4 ounces candied mixed fruit peel
4 ounces fresh cherries, pitted and cut into small pieces
¼ cup baking powder
1 tablespoon mixed essence
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup margarine
½ cup shortening
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water, or more if needed
5 teaspoons white sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease five 8x4-inch baking pans.
  • Combine brown sugar, coconut, flour, raisins, fruit peel, cherries, baking powder, mixed essence, and nutmeg in a large bowl using a large wooden spoon.
  • Combine margarine and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour melted mixture into flour mixture, alternating with milk, until batter is just mixed. Add water, a teaspoon at a time, if more moisture is needed.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pans, smoothing the tops with the back of a wet spoon. Sprinkle white sugar over each loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Invert onto cooking racks.
