Bring to a boil the fruit, nuts, extract, salt, sugar, shortening and coffee.
Continue to cook until raisins swell and liquid becomes syrupy; cool completely.
Stir together the flour, baking soda and baking powder.
Add to fruit mixture and combine thoroughly.
Pour into a greased 10-inch tube pan and bake at 325° about an hour (if heavy with fruit). Check with tester to be sure cake is done.
Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
At this point I soak a clean piece of cheesecloth in liquor; brandy, rum, even wine.
Wrap the cake with the cloth and in foil-store in COLD place-check often, resoak as needed.
There are no exact measurements for the fruit in this recipe-the original recipe stated fruits, nuts & peels-whatever you have on hand .
This was done because it was wartime and things for fancy baking were not always available.
