Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This will ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a light texture.
5
Gently fold in the diced mangoes, golden raisins, and chopped macadamia nuts (or pecans) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6
Prepare a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and shake lightly to distribute evenly.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
