Time 3h35m

Yield 2 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 lbs mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, prunes, cherries)
1/4 lb nuts, chopped (almonds, pecans, walnuts)
1/2 lb mixed citrus peel, chopped (lemon, lime, orange)
1/4 lb pineapple jam
2 lbs brown sugar, divided
2 tablespoons mixed spice (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice)
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
1 tablespoon almond essence
1 cup dark rum (Barbados)
10 eggs
12 ounces flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 lb butter or 1 lb margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup port wine
1 cup dark rum (Barbados)
1 cup water
browning sauce (Kitchen Bouquet is preferred)

Steps:

  • Mince the fruit and soak in 1 cup of rum with spices, essences, nuts, jam and 1/4 lb sugar. Mix ingredients well and put in a jar, cover and allow mixture to steep for 3 weeks or more.
  • When ready to bake, cook fruit over a low heat with 1 cup of water for 15 minutes. Cream the butter/margarine and remaining sugar well and add eggs beating in one at a time. Add this to the fruit mixture. Stir in enough browning to make the mixture dark brown in color. Add the flour and baking powder last.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place mixture into 2 baking pans that are greased and lined with 2 sheets of waxed paper. Fill the pans 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Test with skewer before removing from oven.
  • As soon as cakes are removed from oven, prick all over with skewer and pour slowly over them a mixture of rum and wine which the cakes will absorb.
  • Allow to remain in baking pans for 2 to 3 days to fully absorb liquor before serving.
