How Do I Make Dark Fruit Cake?

Here is how you make Dark Fruit Cake:

Preheat oven to 300F. Generously grease and flour 2 bundt pans. Set aside. Boil kettle and mix the coffee granules and hot water. Set aside. In a big bowl sift together the 2 c. flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, allspice and cocoa powder. Set aside. In another big bowl mix the fruits and nuts with the 1/2 c. flour. Set aside. Now, get a BIG bread pan or any XL bowl. Stir together the margarine and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time. Stir in the molasses and raspberry jam. Add the coffee and extracts. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in the XL bowl, alternately with the mlk. Stir into this batter the floured fruit and nuts. Ladle the batter into the two prepared bundt pans. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. NOTE: I put a oven proof bowl/dish half filled with hot water in the back of the oven. It helps keep long baked goods stay moist.
