A wonderful recipe that has been a family tradition for years. Every year I would "help" my mom make this for my teachers. Now my kids "help" me make it for theirs. The coffee can is used because it is half the size of a bread loaf pan. I get 4 coffee can breads per batch.
mix wet ingredients in mixer. slowly add sugar. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time. add the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix in raisins and nuts.
