Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9.25 x 5.25 x 2.75-inch loaf pan with baking spray; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey, browning, applesauce (or molasses), vanilla, melted butter, Guinness Stout, and egg.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and the spice mix. Stir in dried fruits.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Top with cherries if desired.
Bake for 60–75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool before slicing. Serve and enjoy with cheese, Haitian Cremas, or vanilla ice cream!
