Preparation Steps

In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs gradually, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix these dry ingredients together.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the mixed dried fruit and walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for approximately 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool before removing it from the pan.

Add a touch of brandy to the fruit mixture for an extra festive flavor.
