• 250 grams (about 2 cups) Plain Flour /All purpose flour
•  250 grams Butter (at room temperature)
•  4  Eggs (at room temperature)
•  170 grams Sugar

•  1 teaspoon citrus peels(orange, lemon or grapefruit peel)
•  ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg & Cinnamon (for extra flavor

Soak the fruits and citrus peels in the alcohol for up to 1month or at least 3 days. But if you are in a hurry to make the cake, you can boil it in a pot for 10mins with 2 tablespoonful of sugar and
¹⁄4 cup water; strain and place in a bowl, then add the alcohol and leave to cool to room temperature and set aside.

Prepare the pan by lightly greasing
the insides of the pan with butter and then dusting with flour. This
will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.

C.  Preheat the oven for 15 minutes at 150ºC or the 300ºF mark.

Steps

1. In a wide bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together and set aside.

In a separate bowl or cake mixer, cream the butter until it is light and fluffy, then add the
sugar and continue creaming until it goes from grainy to fluffy again.

3.  Break the eggs into a bowl and gradually add it to the butter-sugar mix , as you continue to cream.

4.  Add the browning, flavor and alcohol soaked fruits.

5. Gradually add the flour+baking powder mixture, one cup at a time and mix until well incorporated.

6.  Pour the cake batter into the
prepared cake pan(half way) and smooth the top with a spatula.
