  2. In a heavy skillet combine one pound of the brown sugar and 1 cup water.
  3. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and gently boil the syrup, swirling the skillet occasionally, for a few minutes, or until it is reduced to 1-3/4 cups.
  4. Let the syrup cool; reserve.
  5. Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg together into a bowl.
  6. In the large bowl of an electric mixer cream together the remaining brown sugar and the butter until it is fluffy; then beat in the eggs, one at a time,beating well after each addition.
  7. Beat in the vanilla, the flour mixture, and 1-1/3 cups of the burnt sugar syrup, reserving the remaining syrup for another use.
  8. In another large bowl, combine well the flour mixture and the fruit mixture and divide the batter between two buttered and floured 10 springform pans.
  9. Bake the cakes in the middle of a preheated 350F. oven for two hours, or until a tooth pick inserted in the centers comes out with some crumbs adhering to it.
