Preparation

Place the dried fruit, orange zest, lemon zest, whisky, and lemon juice in a pot. Set over medium heat and heat until it begins to boil. Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before using it for the recipe. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Grease an 18 cm circular baking dish with almond oil. In a bowl, mix the flours, baking powder, and spices. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the flour mixture and the eggs to the beaten butter. Then add the ground almonds, milk, dried fruit, and cherries. Mix well. Finally, add the honey, and mix the dough well. Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
