I make this with spiced rum, and banana.The rum replaces 1/4 of the water, & 1/4 of the sugar.Also, putting the eggs in AFTER all flour, baking soda, and baking powder works best. I was finding the eggs poached in the hot water/sugar/butter/fruit mix.Waking up to the smell of this is divine.Going to make enough to freeze for Christmas.

Great recipe. I double it and bake a loaf and muffins at the same time. Also if you boil it a little longer you get a more toffee-like result which is delicious. You can swap Olivani for the butter for a dairy free alternative.
