Porter Cake
A Little Irish Cookbook
by John Murphy, 1986, Chronicle Books

"Porter is a type of dark Irish beer, not now as widely available as it once
was. It is not as strong as stout, but Guinness, Murphy's or other Irish stout
can be substituted in this recipe if mixed fifty-fifty with water. This cake is quickly and easily made and, though it tastes good fresh from the oven, it
is best kept for about a week in an airtight tin."

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup porter
6 cups mixed dried fruit (equal
quantities currants, raisins, sultanas
with about half as much mixed peel)
4 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch each of ground cinnamon, nutmeg,
cloves and ginger
Grated rind [zest] from 1 small
lemon (optional)
3 medium eggs

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt the butter and sugar in the porter in a saucepan. Add the fruit and simmer 10 minutes. Allow to go cold and add the sieved flour, baking soda, spices and lemon rind. Beat the eggs and mix them in with a wooden spoon. Pour into a greased and lined 9-inch cake pan [this would have to be a pan with high sides, so I use either a large Bundt pan or tube pan] and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 1 3/4 hours. To test the cake, push a skewer into the center; if ready, the skewer will come out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan.

Irish Coffee
A Little Irish Cookbook
by John Murphy, 1986, Chronicle Books

3/4 cup hot, strong, black coffee
1 to 2 teaspoons sugar
1 large measure Irish whiskey
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Fill a stemmed whiskey glass with hot water, then throw out, refilling
it with boiling water. Throw this out, fill the glass somewhat more than
half full with coffee, and add sugar to taste. Stir to dissolve, then add
the whiskey. Pour the cream over the back of a spoon to float on top.
Drink the hot liquid through the cool cream.

Hot Whiskey
A Little Irish Cookbook
by John Murphy, 1986, Chronicle Books

"…also known as "hot Irish" or just "punch",
is a favorite winter drink in Irish pubs."

Boiling water
1 to 2 teaspoons sugar
1 large measure Irish whiskey
Slice of lemon
2 or 3 cloves

Heat a stemmed whiskey glass as above. Pour in fresh boiling water
to more than half full, dissolve sugar to taste, add the whiskey, a slice
of lemon and the cloves. Serve at once.
