Instructions

Preheat and mix dry ingredients. Preheat oven to 170C/340F. Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, nutmeg, and salt to a bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Prepare wet ingredients. Pour Guinness, molasses, honey and browning, vanilla essence, brown sugar, and melted butter, into a separate bowl and stir until well combined. The brown sugar granules should have disappeared. Next, add the raisins and stir again. Set aside.
Combine mixtures. Add half of the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir. Then add the remaining flour mixture and stir. Make sure the bun batter is mixed well.
Bake. Pour the Jamaican bun batter into a greased or lined loaf tin and bake for 60-70 minutes or until done.
