Steps:
- Cream together the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Sift flour and mix with spices. Combine all the fruits and nuts and mix with one cup of the spiced flour. Add remaining flour alternately with the well-beaten eggs, fruit juices and coffee to the creamed butter and sugar. Add fruits and nuts. Butter 4 (5x9-inch) loaf pans and line with brown paper and wax paper and butter again. Spoon in batter. Bake in a very slow oven (250 degrees F.) for about 3-1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Keep a shallow pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven. Set cakes in pan on wire racks to cool; remove from pans. Wrap each cake in a cloth moistened in brandy. Wrap individually in 2 layers of foil, sealing to make airtight. Store in tins and age at least 1 month. Chill before slicing. If you wish, you may cover the tops with almond paste (marzipan) and candied fruit. The cake can be stored in a cool place for over a year.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan melt the butter over medium heat and add the raisins, dates, prunes, currents, brown sugar, molasses, spices, coffee liqueur (or coffee) and the orange zest and juice.
- Bring to a gentle boil and very slowly simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 30-45 minutes.
- When cool stir in the beaten eggs.
- Sift together, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda.
- Add the ground nuts and fold through the boiled mixture. Fold in cherries, citrus peel and pecans. Pour into prepared baking pan. You can decorate the top with additional pecan halves, cherries etc., if you like.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 1 ½ to 2 hours depending upon the size of your pan. Mine took the full two hours in a 10 inch spring form pan.The cake should feel firm to the touch at the center and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. The cake should be cooled completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing.
- At this point you can poke small holes in the top and bottom of the cake with a fork and pour on 4 ounces of dark rum or your favorite whiskey, half on the top, wait ten minutes, then flip it over and pour the remaining half on the bottom.
- Soak several layers of cheesecloth in additional rum if you like and wrap completely around the cake, then cover with several layers of plastic wrap and store in a COOL place.
- When serving, you can add a layer of marzipan or if you have decorated the top with fruit and nuts, brush with a simple glaze of equal parts water and sugar boiled together for about 10-15 minutes.

OLD ENGLISH CHERRY CAKE
I just came across this recipe in an old "Edith Adams Christmas Baking" flyer. She was the nutritionist for the Vancouver Sun newspaper and THE guru of Vancouver house wives (a local Martha Stewart of the forties and fifties)' Store this cake as you would any Christmas cake. A nice change from dark fruit cake
