Directions

  1. 1

    Soak the dried cranberries, raisins, and dried cherries in 1 cup of beer. Let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 320°F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.

  3. 3

    Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, egg, milk, honey, melted butter, molasses, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract with the beer from the soaked fruits (without the fruits).

  5. 5

    Take 2 tablespoons of dry flour and coat the fruits with it. Gently fold this mixture into the batter.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

  7. 7

    Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

💡 Chef's Tip

Allow the fruits to soak well in the beer for enhanced flavor. You can prepare the soaking the day before. This cake keeps well for several days in an airtight container.
