In a small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined and smooth; do not overmix.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
-
Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
