Molasses Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 c. brown sugar
    1 c. butter
    1 c. molasses
    1 c. strong coffee
    4 eggs
    1 tsp. soda
    2 tsp. cinnamon
    2 tsp. cloves
    1 tsp. grated nutmeg
    1 lb. raisins
    1 lb. currants
    4 c. flour
Preparation
    Mix all ingredients, first the sugar, butter and molasses. Add coffee and eggs, then spices, raisins, currants and flour. Can use all raisins; I like to substitute craisins for the currants. Bake at 350\u00b0 about 50 minutes or 325\u00b0 about an hour and 10 minutes. Test center. Bake in 8 x 12-inch dish or pan. This makes a large cake and will keep or freeze well. Good sliced and served with butter. Serves 40. Can freeze. Can do ahead.
