Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 300° F (150° C).
  2. In a bowl, stir dried fruit with rum. Microwave to warm and plump the fruit. Let stand to absorb most of the rum. Cool to room temperature.
  3. Mix flour with Poudre Douce, Baking Powder and salt.
  4. In a separate large bowl with an electric mixer, cream butter with sugar and Hot Buttered Rum. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in fruit mixture along with any liquid.
  5. Gently beat in flour just until mixed. Divide batter between 2 — 9" x 5" loaf pans lined with parchment paper. Place on Sheet Pan.
  6. Bake about 1 hour, until a cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
Tips

To preserve the loaf, brush it lavishly and often with rum.
