Combine in a mixing bowl the flour, sugar, salt, and eggs. Beat until the dough pulls away from the sides.
Lower the speed and add the yeast along with the milk and butter, beat enough until you have a homogeneous dough.
Grease the inside of a Ziploc® bag with a bit of oil and place the dough in the bag. Let it rest for 30 minutes or until it doubles in volume.
Remove the dough from the bag and add the orange and lemon zest. Shape the dough into a ring, brush the surface with a beaten egg. Cut the candied fruits into thin sticks and place them on the cake alternately, leaving enough space to put cherries and the sugar crust in the middle.
For the sugar crust; Cream the vegetable shortening with the sugar inside a Ziploc® bag, add the flour, and knead until you have a homogeneous paste.
Place the sugar crust on top of the cake. Put the cake on a baking tray, place a tray with a bit of water inside the oven, and put the cake in. Let it ferment for about 10 minutes at 45°C. This is to ensure it doubles in volume.
Increase the oven temperature to 180°C, remove the water tray, and bake the cake for 45 minutes or until fully cooked.
Remove from the oven, let cool completely, and serve.
