Ingredients
875 mL (3½ cups) all-purpose flour
250 mL (1 cup) brown sugar
250 mL (1 cup) butter
5 mL (1 tsp) grated nutmeg
5 mL (1 tsp) cinnamon
5 mL (1 tsp) ground ginger
5 mL (1 tsp) baking powder
Pinch of salt
625 mL (2½ cups) golden raisins (sultanas)
125 mL (½ cup) currants
125 mL (½ cup) chopped candied peel
125 mL (½ cup) chopped pecans
1 (12-ounce/330mL) bottle of porter or stout
2 eggs
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) quick release round cake pan.
Rub together the flour, brown sugar, butter, nutmeg, spice, baking powder, and salt, until it looks like wet sand.
Then stir in the raisins, currants, candied peel, and nuts.
In another bowl whisk together the eggs and the porter.
Pour into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour into the prepared pan, and bake for 1½ – 2 hours.
The cake is done when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before releasing and fully cooling on a wire rack.
