Basic Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) and grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. Reserve a handful of nuts and cherries for decoration later, then chop the rest.
  3. Toss together chopped nuts, crystallized fruit, dates, raisins, and pineapple with 1/4 cup of flour.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, and mixed spices.
  5. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, corn syrup, fruit juice, and dry ingredients.
  6. Beat the egg whites until foamy and gently fold them into the batter along with the fruit and nut mixture.
  7. Layer the reserved nuts and cherries in the bundt pan, then pour the cake batter over and distribute evenly.
  8. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, enjoying the fragrant aroma.
