Directions:
- Place raisins in a bowl. Add enough grand Marnier/Cointreau to cover them. Cover bowl and leave for 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 150°C.
- In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add the eggs one at a time. If mixture looks a bit like splitting, add a little flour.
- Add sifted flour, mixed spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and Grand Marnier. Mix together.
- Gently fold in soaked raisins, dried chopped apricots, sultanas, chopped peel, cherries, walnuts and hazelnuts.
- Spoon the cake mix into 2 greased and lined 22cm spring form tins.
- Bake cakes for 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours.
- Remove and cool on wire rack. Once cool spray with more alcohol and wrap in cling film. Keep cakes in cool dry place until you ice/decorate them.
- ICING: Gently heat jam until spreadable. Spread over top and edges of cake.
- Roll out marzipan very thinly to the circumference of cake, also a strip around width of cake.
- Place marzipan on cake-gently pinch strip around top and side to stick them together. Repeat this with the icing. Mix together icing sugar, egg white and a few drops of food colouring into a smooth paste. Put into icing bag and decorate as desired.
