Prune Fruit Cake

From: Brer Rabbit’s Modern Recipes for Modern Living (I believe this booklet was printed around 1930)

4 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup Brer Rabbit Molasses
1 teaspoon soda
1 cup seeded raisins
1/2 cup currants
1/2 cup shredded citron
1/2 cup soft prunes

Sift together first six ingredients.

Cream butter and sugar, add well-beaten eggs, milk, molasses with soda dissolved in it, then sifted dry ingredients. Lastly, add fruit which has been cut fine and dredged with some of the flour. If desired, add 1 teaspoon lemon extract or 1 teaspoon grated orange or lemon rind.

Bake in 2 bread pans (lined with greased paper) 1 1/2 to 2 hours in rather slow oven (275 to 300 degrees F).
