This cake is made with porter beer. This is a family recipe from county Galway. Both Guinness® and Murphy’s Dark Ale work well in this.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup porter beer
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup sultanas (golden raisins)
- ½ cup dried cherries
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons mixed spice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 orange, zested
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
Step 2
Combine brown sugar, butter, and stout beer in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter is melted and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add raisins, sultanas, and cherries. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Sift flour, mixed spice, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir in stout-fruit mixture. Add beaten eggs gradually, stirring until incorporated. Fold in orange zest. Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
