1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup molasses

Steps:

Soak raisins in rum 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flours, bran and baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine egg, sugar, corn syrup, molasses, buttermilk and raisins (with liquor). Mix well. Stir in the flour mixture.
Pour the mixture into three clean, well-greased tin cans (2 1/2-cup capacity each), filling each about two-thirds full. Cover each tightly with foil. Place in a baking dish and add water to reach halfway up the side of the cans. Cover baking dish with foil, place in oven and bake 3 hours. Cool 15 minutes before removing from cans.
