STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line an 8x3-inch round pan with aluminum foil.

2

Combine raisins, currants, citrus peel, cherries, and orange zest in a bowl. Dredge with 1/3 cup flour.

3

Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until light.

4

Combine remaining 1 2/3 cups flour, ground almonds, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Fold into the butter and egg mixture. Mix in the prepared fruit.

5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the cake from the pan.

6

Turn the oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast the whole almonds for about 5 minutes until lightly browned.

7

Heat corn syrup and brush the top of the hot cake. Arrange toasted almonds in your desired design. After cooling, the cake will not be sticky.
