Cooking Steps

Step 1 :

Combine raisins, currants, glace cherries, dried cranberries, chopped dates, dried apricots, dried apples, candied ginger, lemon zest, and orange zest. Add the apple juice and soak the dry fruits overnight.

Step 2 :

In a saucepan, add butter, sugar, orange juice, apple juice and spices. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil, then add the soaked fruits and simmer it for 5-8 minutes. Then remove it from the flame.

Step 3 :

Set this syrup inside the fridge for up to two weeks and bring back to room temperature before using it.

Step 4 :

Pre-heat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake tin with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 5 :

Add the dry ingredients into the fruit preparation and stir by hand. Stir in the eggs and then fold in the nuts (except for whole blanched almonds). Transfer the cake batter into the prepared tin.

Step 6 :

Spread the raw blanched almonds on top of the cake in a decorative pattern. Bake for approximately 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Step 7 :

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack for 20 minutes. Demould the cake and let it cool completely.

Step 8 :

To make the sugar syrup, heat the water and sugar in a saucepan. Add in the cinnamon, star anise and orange peel then bring it to a boil until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 9 :

Paste the sides of the cake with the sugar syrup and allow it to cool completely.

Step 10 :

Slice the cake and serve.
