    | 1. Mix the dried fruit and orange zest together in a glass or china bowl. | 2. Pour the brandy over and mix again. | 3. Cover the bowl and leave for at least 24 hours, turning mixture occasionally. | 4. Preheat oven to 140 degrees C. | 5. Grease and line a 24cm round cake tin with several layers of paper. | 6. Paper should extend 10cm above the rim of the tin. | 7. Sift flour, spices and salt. | 8. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. | 9. Beat eggs in a separate bowl then mix very gradually into the creamed mixture. | 10. Gently fold in the spiced flour, then fold in the dried fruit mixture. | 11. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. | 12. Decorate the top with blanched almonds. | 13. Bake for about 3 hours. | 14. A skewer inserted into the centre of the cake should come out clean when the cake is cooked. | 15. A baking dish full of water placed on the oven shelf below the cake during cooking will help keep the cake moist. | 16.
