step 1

Combine all the dry fruits and orange peel in a jar. Pour over the rum and whiskey. Stir well and set aside for at least 1 week.

step 2

Preheat your oven to 170C. Grease and line an 8" cake tin with parchment paper. Butter the parchment paper too.

step 3

Sift together the flours, spices, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. In a bowl, beat together the butter and jaggery powder or brown sugar, until pale and creamy.

step 4

Add in the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the dry ingredients, until no white streaks remain. Fold in the orange zest, nuts, and all the soaked fruits.

Once you've taken the cake out of the oven, use a wooden skewer to poke holes on the surface of the cake. Brush with rum or the leftover alcohol.

step 6

Let the cake cool completely. Cover with aluminum foil and let the cake rest for 1 day. Next day, unmould the cake and place it on a serving platter.

step 7

Brush the surface again with rum. Top with soaked fruits and some glace cherries if you like. Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy!
