## Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients separately: flour, baking powder, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: brown sugar, eggs, honey, molasses, guava jam, vanilla extract, orange zest, and stout.
3. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix gently to avoid overmixing.
4. Gently fold in the soaked fruits (raisins, cherries).
5. Pour the batter into greased loaf pans and decorate with cherries.
6. Bake at 300°F for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
