This beautiful fruit cake looks best cut into thin slices to show off the colours of the fruits and nuts. This is great to serve at Christmas time- or any time with coffee and port after dinner! An Australian cup is 250mls and a tablespoon contains 4 teaspoons. Thanks to the reviewer who pointed out my typo in the intro :-)

Steps:
- Chop the pineapple and apricots into fairly large pieces, and leave the remaining fruit and nuts whole.
- Mix all these fruits and nuts together, then reserve a half cup of them for the topping.
- Beat the eggs until light and fluffy, then add the sugar, vanilla essence, rum and softened butter.
- Continue beating until well blended.
- Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt and add with the fruit and nuts, mix thoroughly.
- Grease a 20cm ring tin and line the base.
- Spoon mixture evenly into the tin, arrange the reserved fruit and nuts over the top, pressing down gently.
- Bake in a slow oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until cake is firm to touch.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out.
- Store in an airtight container wrapped in foil.
- To serve, cut into very thin slices with a very sharp knife-the thin slices show off the beautiful colours of the fruits.
