2/3 cup chopped dried mango

3 tbsp brandy

3 tbsp spiced rum

3 tbsp port

4 tbsp Kirsch

½ tbsp allspice

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

½ tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp molasses

4 tbsp water

2 ¼ cups self-rising flour

1 ½ cups raw sugar

1 cup butter, softened (no subs!)

Directions

In saucepan, combine all fruits.

Add the brandy, rum, port, Kirsch, spices, vanilla, salt, molasses, and 4 tbsp of water.

Bring to a boil and simmer gently for 20 min.

Set aside to cool, then cover and chill for 1 week.

Preheat oven to 275F.

Grease and line a 9” square pan.

Sift the flour into large mixing bowl.

Add the sugar, butter, and eggs.

Beat until well combined, then fold in the macerated fruit mixture.

Pour into prepared pan, do not level the surface.

Bake for 4 hours or until cooked through.

Place a sheet of foil over the cake after 3 hours if it appears to be browning too quickly.
