Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• ¹⁄₂ cup Stout beer
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chopped dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries, apricots)
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)

Instructions

6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cake has cooled, brush the top with honey for a sticky glaze.
8. Serve and enjoy!
