Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Line an 8-inch deep cake pan with parchment paper.

Place sugar, candied mixed fruit, milk, butter, cherries, citrus peel, walnuts, allspice, and baking soda in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

3

Stir flour and eggs into the fruit mixture. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Wrap the outside of the pan with brown paper or newspaper.
