Description
What are two of my favorite indulgences? Without a doubt, beer and cake. So it goes without saying that I was happy to make this Guinness Fruit Cake in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
Ingredients
- 3-½ cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoons Nutmeg
- ½ teaspoons Ginger
- 1-½ teaspoon Baking Soda, Divided
- 1 cup Margarine
- 2 cups Raisins
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 whole Lemon Rind, Grated (1 Lemon Should Yield Approximately 1 Tablespoon)
- 1-¾ cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 4 whole Eggs, Beaten
- ⅔ cups Guinness Beer
Preparation
Heat oven to 325ºF. Grease a 9” springform pan and set it aside.
Mix flour, spices and ¾ teaspoon of the baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender.
Add raisins, lemon juice, lemon rind and sugar. Blend well with a wooden spoon. Get all the lumps of sugar broken down and mixed. Mix eggs in thoroughly.
Measure Guinness into a measuring cup and mix it with the remaining ¾ teaspoon of baking soda. Add Guinness mixture to the cake batter and mix well.
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake for 1 hour at 325ºF then drop oven temperature to 300ºF and bake for 45 more minutes.
Cool completely.
