ORIGINAL MUNCHENER BIERKUCHEN (Loaf Beercake)
This is the easiest recipe my husband has made!

1-3/4 cups sifted flour
1/8 lb. butter
2/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup dark beer
1 egg
1/2 level tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp. whole cloves
1 cup large white raisins
2 ozs. candied citron peel, finely diced
2 ozs. candied orange peel,finely diced
1 tbs. rum

TO DECORATE:

1 jar apricot jam
roasted pistachio nuts or roasted almonds

Crumble the flour, butter and sugar together between your hands in a mixing bowl. This should have the consistency of coarse sand. Stir in all the other ingredients. Butter well a loaf pan, 2" deep, 4-1/2" wide and 13" long, and sprinke with flour so that the pan is completly coated. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Pour batter in pan and bake until done, about 1 hour. Turn Kutchen out while still hot and spread with jam. Decorate with a stripe of nuts down the middle. This can be eaten warm or cold. This can be made the day before and served cold.
