Place the rum and dried fruit in a pot, add the orange zest, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before starting the recipe. Before making the cake, take the fruit out of the refrigerator to bring it to room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and place the rack in the center.
Butter two loaf pans. Place two strips of parchment paper in the molds; this will help you remove the cake from the pan at the end.
In a bowl with a whisk, beat the flour with all the spices.
In an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the butter until fluffy. Add the eggs and continue beating. Add the vanilla and salt and mix once more.
Gradually add the flour and beat until everything is incorporated.
Place the batter in a bowl, add the fruit, and mix the fruit with the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the molds and bake for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 150 degrees Celsius and bake for an hour and a half or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a rack for 30 minutes.
