Fold in the soaked fruits (including any extra juice or rum) and the chopped nuts if you like a little crunch in every bite.
Pour your batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Slide it into the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan to keep it moist. If you want your cake extra rich, brush it with a little more rum or orange juice once a week until you’re ready to serve. This lets the flavors deepen and makes every slice even more special.
Enjoy a slice with your loved ones and cozy up together for a truly festive treat.
