π¨βπ³ Instructions
Soak raisins, currants, and candied peel in brandy or strong tea until plump and fragrant.
Cream butter with dark brown sugar, then beat in eggs, molasses, flour, and the warm spices to make a sturdy batter.
Fold the soaked fruit through the batter and pack it into a lined cake pan with a smooth top.
Bake slowly until the center is set and the edges pull slightly from the pan, then cool completely before slicing.
