  1. 1
    Gently boil coffee, raisins, currants, orange peel, sugars, nutmeg, and butter over moderate heat, uncovered, in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Cool mixture to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  2. 2
    Put a small roasting pan filled halfway with hot water on rack in lowest position in oven (to provide moisture during baking). Put remaining oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter tube pan.

  4. 4
