- Allow at least 2 days to make this cake. For extra richness, you may heat 1 square of unsweetened chocolate and put together it with the shortening. Prepare the fruit and cover with brandy; let stand overnight. Beat sugar and vanilla into shortening. Add in large eggs one at a time, beating them in and continuing to beat till very light. Beat in molasses.Dust a small amount of flour over liquid removed fruit and nuts. Put together brandy, liquid removed from fruit with the port wine. Sift rest of flour with soda and spices. Put together wine, brandy, and ham. Add in flour mix and jam mix alternately to creamed mix in small amounts, blending in each addition.
- You may bake in loaf pans or possibly small tins, or possibly you can bake it in a large tube pan or possibly a 4 inch deep, 10 inch round pan. Grease pans and line with greased brown paper. Fill only 3/4 full. For an extra moist cake, place a pan of boiling water in the bottom of the oven for the first half of baking time. Allow 1 hour per lb in baking the small pans and 4 hrs entire baking time for the large cake at 275 degrees. This is the best fruitcake I have ever tasted! Our family made them every year since my childhood, but this one came later.
