In a mid-to-large bowl whisk together:
Bread flour (I used about 3 1/2 cups)
Salt
Baking powder
Baking soda
Cinnamon (3 vigorous shakes: maybe a tablespoon)
Sugar (maybe 4 to 4 1/2 tablespoons)
Ginger (just a tad)
Then mix in uniformly:
Eggs (2 large)
Vanilla extract (1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons)
Instant coffee (2 heaping teaspoons)
Blackstrap molasses (1 or 2 tablespoons)
Condensed milk (1or 2 tablespoons)
Low fat milk (add till you have a thick batter)
Find, and grease two baking pans. I used 6" square pans, and olive oil. Preheat oven to 375.
Add to batter:
Frozen cranberries
Frozen blueberries
Some raisins
A handful of pecans, and pecan crumbs
Pour into two pans, bake for 19 minutes. Then turn temperature to 350, bake 6 more minutes, turn down to 325, and bake 6 more minutes. Brush melted butter over the product while it is still hot.
Cuts easily with a spatula, and does not crumble. A very warm and hearty snack, good with milk or fresh coffee, but doesn't sit heavily in your stomach. Consistently a very agreeable and exciting flavor.
