Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/fan
- Transfer the soaked fruit mixture to a pan and let it heat to boiling point. When it starts to bubble take off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- While the fruit mixture is cooling grease and line a 20cm round deep cake tin
- Mix the butter and sugar with an electric mixer so that it becomes light and fluffly. Add the fruit mixture to this along with the spices. Give it a good mix with the electric mixer
- Now add the two cups of flour and the two eggs to the fruit mixture but stir this with a wooden spoon as quickly as you can
- Transfer the mixture to the tin and make a slight dip in the centre of the cake.
- Put the cake in the middle of the oven for 1 hr 15 minutes. Check the cake after 1 hour by placing a skewer in the cake. If it comes out clean then the cake is ready and take it out of the oven. Leave to go cold before taking off the greaseproof paper. If you want to marzipan and ice this cake turn it upside down - you will have a completely flat cake to work with.
