Method
 

For fruits
  1. Blend the fruits together in a blender. As the liquid is ground, gradually add rum. Keep it in an airtight container until you're ready to use it.
To Make Cake
  1. Two 8-inch cake pans should be greased and floured. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Butter and sugar should be creamed together.
  2. In a blender, combine the eggs, lime rind, and essence. Beat the drums thoroughly. Combine the beaten eggs, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  3. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon once everything is completely combined. Toss in the soaking fruits, mixed peel, cherries, and nuts, if using.
  4. Browning can be added till the desired color is achieved. Stir everything together thoroughly. Pour the batter into the cake pans and bake for 2 hours and 12 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and baste with a mixture of 1/4 cup rum and 1/4 cup cherry brandy. This can be done until the cake is completely cool or until all of the batter has been utilized. Before removing the cake from the pan, it must be completely cool. Serve with a topping and enjoy.
