A delicious combination of cinnamon, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, and citron fruits
Pre heat oven to 275° and grease Tube pan or grease 2 loaf pans and line with parchment paper, both long ways and width ways.
Combine all fruit and nuts into a large bowl
Pour 1/2 cup Bourbon onto fruit let stand 2-3 hours stirring frequently
Add butter, flour, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs to a second large bowl
Beat together on high for 2-3 minutes, scraping bowl down
Stir in fruit mixture, spread mixture into a 12 cup greased tube pan or 2 greased loaf pans
Press the batter into the pans firmly removing air pockets
Bake in oven 3 - 3 1/2 hours, a tooth pick should come out clean
Cool in pan for 20 minutes then remove with parchment paper or separate the tube pan, let cool completely
Can garnish with cherries, pineapples and nuts
I highly suggest lining the Loaf pans with parchment paper for easier removal of the cake, This cake can be made with no alcohol just replace it with Orange Juice. Once cake is cooled, spread it with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Bourbon and wrap in a cheese cloth and place in an airtight container. For the next 4- 6 weeks you will dress the cake with 1/4 cup of bourbon each week over the cheese cloth. Then its ready to eat!!!
