Old Fashioned Dark Fruit Cake
1 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour
1 pkg mincemeat
2/3 cup molasses
1 cup cold coffee
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup pecans
1 1/2 cups raisins
Mix sugar, shortening, and egg until fluffy. Add flour, mincemeat, and molasses. Add soda to the cold coffee, then add to mix. Add vanilla, pecans, and raisins. (Instead of raisins, or also, I use candied cherries, candied pineapple and dates cut up.) Cook 300 degrees for two hours in an angel food cake pan. Put a cookie sheet under the pan. Cook on bottom rack.
Aunt Til loved to make fruitcake. The recipe has been in the family for over 120 years.
