By kayjayjohnson

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp dark rum (flavoring)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cup pineapple (canned crushed, drained)
• 1/2 cup cherries (dried)
• 1 1/3 cup coconut (toasted)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.

Beat together eggs, oil, rum, and milk in a bowl. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix the flour into the eggs until just moistened. Gently fold in the pineapple, cherries, and coconut. Pour into prepared pans.

Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.
