  • ⅔ cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 1 cup brewed Nicaragua Maracaturra

  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • butter or apple butter for serving (optional)
Instructions
  1. Put the dried fruit, sugar, butter and coffee in a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. prepare a 9" loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder and allspice into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour the fruit/coffee mixture and beaten egg. Stir until throughly mixed.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 50 minutes, and then cover loosely with foil, and return the loaf to the oven to bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  5. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Serve with butter or apple butter if desired.
