Directions:

  1. Cream butter, adding sorghum slowly until well-blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly. Add bourbon, beating well.
  2. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Blend with butter mixture.
  3. Dredge fruits in remaining 1/2 cup flour. Combine fruits with nuts, orange peel and ginger. Stir into other ingredients.
  4. Generously butter two 9×5-inch loaf pans and line each with a double thickness of well-buttered wax paper. Pour batter into pans.
  5. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cover pans securely with aluminum foil. Bake 1 hour more. Remove from oven. Remove from pans when cool. Wrap in bourbon-soaked cloth and store in aluminum foil or close-fitting tin box to ripen at least one week.
  6. Makes 2 cakes.
