Jamaican Spice Raisin Bread
Ingredients
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup beer (such as Heineken®)
  • 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon browning sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). To prevent sticking, lightly coat two 8x4-inch loaf pans with a non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
3
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg until it's well-mixed. Gradually whisk in the milk, beer, and 1 3/4 cups of brown sugar until it's fully incorporated. Make sure the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
4
Next, add the softened butter to the mixture and blend until smooth. Incorporate the browning sauce, vanilla extract, and lime juice into the mixture.
5
Now, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until there are no dry lumps remaining.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour.
7
Once the bread is nearly done baking, prepare a glaze by combining 1/2 cup of brown sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar is thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
8
Remove the bread from the oven and pour the glaze over it. Return the bread to the oven for an additional 5 minutes of baking time. Finally, remove the bread from the pans and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
