Note

Ensure the brandied fruit is well drained to avoid a soggy cake. If using canned fruit, drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.

Tossing the nuts and raisins in flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the brandied fruit with dried cranberries, apricots, or extra raisins soaked briefly in warm water.

Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
