Prepare Soaked Fruits:
• Measure and use 1 cup of the rum-soaked dried fruits for this cake. Drain the soaked fruits and reserve the liquid.
• Toss the measured fruits with the roasted nuts and 2 tablespoons of the dry ingredients to prevent them from sinking.
• Reserve the remaining rum-soaked fruits for future use; they can be preserved and used to make up to 3 plus similar cakes.

Bake:
• Grease a 20 cm/8 Inch springform pan with butter and line it with parchment paper.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, level it out, and tap gently to remove air bubbles.
• Bake at 180°C for 55 minutes. After 40 minutes, cover the top of the cake with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning. Test with a toothpick for doneness.
