Tanya's Jamaican Spice Bread

Recipe View Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg lightly. Whisk in the milk, beer, and 1 3/4 cups brown sugar until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Stir in melted butter, browning sauce, vanilla extract, and lime juice. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the raisins. Avoid overmixing. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 55-65 minutes. (Bake time: 55-65 minutes)

Recipe View While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and immediately brush or spoon the glaze evenly over the tops of the loaves. Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze. (Bake time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool time: 10 minutes)
