Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cream butter, adding sorghum slowly until well-blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly. Add bourbon, beating well.
  • Combine 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Blend with butter mixture.
  • Dredge fruits in remaining 1/2 cup flour. Combine fruits with nuts, orange peel and ginger. Stir into other ingredients.
  • Generously butter two 9×5-inch loaf pans and line each with a double thickness of well-buttered wax paper. Pour batter into pans.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cover pans securely with aluminum foil. Bake 1 hour more. Remove from oven. Remove from pans when cool. Wrap in bourbon-soaked cloth and store in aluminum foil or close-fitting tin box to ripen at least one week.
  • Makes 2 cakes.

    Good afternoon Pat, I was just reading snowcat's comment and for the most part, Arkansas is beautiful I lived there for 10 years, hated to leave, but I missed my family and Dad is in his last years and wanted to be closer to him. Mom passes while was there and it broke my heart, because my job almost didn't let me go to her funeral. And I had to travel to California for it. Anyway, I think this recipe is wonderful. You get my 5 for this one. Have a wonderful Christmas and day...Cheryl
