Directions
Cream butter and sugar.
Beat in eggs, one at a time.
Add vanilla.
Add remaining ingredients and blend until all is incorporated.
Divide batter among 3 greased loaf pans, about 8 x 4 x 3-inches each.
Bake in a preheated 350℉ (180℃) F oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove to a cooling rack.
When cool enough to handle, remove the loaves from the pans and cool completely on a rack.
Wrap in plastic wrap and keep in refrigerator.
