- Manually by hand or mixer, whip the butter and brown sugar until it is light and fluffy
- Add egg mixture gradually into creamed butter to avoid curdling while mixing on medium speed.
- Transfer mixture into a bowl then add flour. Mix well. Add fruits. Mix well. Add burnt sugar. Mix well.
- Preheat oven to 300℉ for the first hour then reduce the heat to 275 ℉.

- Cover the cake with foil paper for the first hour of baking then remove. Bake for an additional 45 mins-1 hour. Using a toothpick, pierce the center of the cake, if it comes out clear then it's done.
- Pour rum on top of the cake immediately after removing from the oven.
- Cover the cake with a dish towel and allow to cool before removing from the pan.

- Sprinkle additional rum over cake immediately after it is baked. Repeat a few times. Allow cake to remain in pan for 2 to 3 days.
- FOR THE MARZIPAN: Beat egg whites to a stiff froth, stir in ground almonds, sugar and almond essence to make a paste.

- FOR THE ROYAL ICING: Beat egg whites to a froth, add sugar, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Add lemon juice and sugar and continue to beat until mixture forms peaks.
- Dip a spatula in hot water and smoother the icing over the almond paste. A second layer may be applied when the first is thoroughly dried.
