Recipe Ingredients

		Cake
100		All-purpose flour
2 1/2		Salt
1		Baking soda
1		Baking powder
2 1/2		Allspice
2 1/2		Cinnamon
2 1/2		Cloves
2 1/2		Mace
2 1/2		Nutmeg
120		Melted butter
2		Eggs
180		Black coffee - (cold)
100		Brown sugar
150		Raisins
250		Mixed fruit
300		Dates
60		Rum or brandy
		Glaze
60		Butter
120		Rum or brandy
100		Sugar

Recipe Instructions

1. Mix the melted butter, eggs, rum and coffee together.

2. Add brown sugar and mix well.

3. Add rest of dry ingredients and place in a buttered loaf pan.

4. Bake at 150C for 2 hours or until done (it will separate from the sides of the pan).

5. Make glaze when almost completely baked: Melt (do not boil) butter. Add rum and sugar. Stir by hand.

6. Remove the cake from the oven and pour half of the glaze over it. Let it cool 25 minutes, then turn it over and pour the remaining glaze on the other side.

7. Notes: Don't use glass pans. This freezes well, if you make more than you can eat; just be sure to wrap it carefully so it doesn't get freezer burn. Warm frozen cake in the oven, not the microwave.
