Fruit Mixture: Mix together all the ingredients and store in a tightly sealed jar for at least 1 month
The Cake: Prepare a 10" deep round cake baking tin or a 13" x 9" baking tin by lining it with two layers of waxed paper, greasing between the layers. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Every week, prick the cake with a skewer and pour on about 1 tablespoon of rum. (Makes one 5 pound cake. )
