Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.

In a saucepan or skillet, combine the ground pork with water and bring it to a boil. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Do not discard the cooking liquid.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Add in the eggs, molasses, raisins, and dates, stirring until the mixture is evenly incorporated.

Pour in the boiled pork along with its cooking liquid, then beat the mixture for about 2 to 3 minutes to ensure everything blends smoothly.

Gradually add the flour while mixing, forming a thick but pourable batter. If the consistency seems too thin, add up to an additional ½ cup of flour.

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for even baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 70 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
