Step 1
Combine dried fruit, fruit mince, butter, sugar, orange rind, juice and 1/3 cup brandy in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Remove to a large bowl. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 3
Add eggs and flours to dried fruit mixture. Stir to combine. Spread mixture over prepared pan. Top with nuts. Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Step 4
Combine jam and remaining brandy in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium-high (70%) for 30 seconds or until jam melts. Brush cake top with jam. Cover with foil. Allow to cool in pan in a cool dark place overnight. Cut into pieces. Serve.
