Combine eggs and sugar and beat until light, about 2 minutes. Sift flour, salt and baking soda. Add to egg mixture and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes longer. Add remaining ingredients and mix very well. Spoon into 2 greased and floured 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for one hour.
Remove from pans immediately. Allow to stand 24 hours before slicing.
