1 cup molasses

1 cup raisins

1 cup dried currants

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

2. Blend flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice, sifting the ingredients twice. Mix together the eggs and the cooled melted butter, and add about 1/3 of the mixture to the dry ingredients, and blend. Add ½ of the coffee and ½ of the molasses, and blend. Add another 1/3 of the egg-butter mixture, and blend. Add the remaining coffee and molasses, and blend. Add the remaining egg-butter mixture, and blend. Stir in the raisins and currants.

3. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and cook until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
